The Table Top Sports Games of Chris Saguisag
I meant to play a round a couple of weeks back, as a quarantine distraction.
So here we are today:
2020 Quarantine Invitational, from TPC Summerlin, Las Vegas, Nevada.
I randomly chose 4 golfers from PLAAY’s fictional 2017 Pro National Golfers set.
Results:
Somers and Weber were tied after the 16th, still tied after the 17th, and a birdie on the 18th by Weber gave him the win.
Such excitement!
*golf clap*
Not sure when the next golf match will be, though next month is the second annual John Price Invitational.
Stay tuned!
September 9, 1979: Capital City 400
Race results and current standings:
A poor finish by Richard Petty increases the gap from Darrell Waltrip in first place.
Your race winner, Baxter Price (#45), who never finished in the top 10 ten of any race in real life.
Next: the CRC Chemicals 500 @ Dover International Speedway.
Stay tuned!
September 3, 1979: Southern 500
Race results and current standings:
For only the fourth time in my replay, the real life race winner won.
Your race winner, David Pearson, driving the Rod Osterland #2 in place of injured driver Dale Earnhardt.
Darrell Waltrip maintains the points lead over Richard Petty.
Next: the Capital City 400 @ Richmond Fairgrounds Raceway.
Stay tuned!
I just played a game for the first time in a while.
I made some mistakes, I think, no, I’m sure, so what was supposed to be the first game of the 2017-18 Tottenham Hotspur season replay will just be a “get reacquainted with the game” matchup.
Spurs won 1-0 over Newcastle United.
Replay of the replayed match will occur later.
Stay tuned!
A couple of years back PLAAY Games came out with a “Quick-Rate” supplement for History Maker Baseball which allowed you to create teams using ordinary baseball cards. It came with a few packs of 1987 Topps wax packs to help start out your teams.
I created a Topps 1987 team and then bought a couple of packs of current baseball cards and created a 2018 team.
I played 1/2 a game and put the game away.
Almost 2 years later, I opened the History Maker Baseball game box and found the unfinished Trading Card Game.
I finally finished it. There’s no box score since I hand scored this one.
1987 Topps 3
2018 Topps 6

This was an interesting play through, which I’ll play on occasion for fun now that I’ve dug it out. I have stacks of cards from 2019 and a couple of packs from 2020, perhaps I should pit those two seasons against each other.
Stay tuned!
The updated driver list for the Grand National Pioneers Series.
Eleven drivers added from Pete Adams’ ‘Local Yokels’ freebie set.
That’s 60+ drivers vying for 43 starting grid spots, even though I know that starting grids were much bigger back then.
No changes to the race schedule.
The first and last races are held on fictional race tracks, which I’ve located in Hanford, Washington and Fresno, California.
Stay tuned!
The Series Finale!
The Pepsi 400 from the Southern Super Speedway.
Race results and final standings:
Final race results:
The 2016 Pepsi Cup Racing Series comes to an end.
PLAAY doesn’t appear to be releasing another Truck Series car set, so this is it. No more truck racing.
I do believe that some of these drivers appear in later PLAAY SCRAM series. I may transfer Louttit, Gayle and Saguisag to one of these other series, someday. Perhaps the 2018 SCRAM-B series?
Next up: the Grand National Pioneers Series begins!
Stay tuned!
