2012: Stock Car Racing America, Race 2
2012: Stock Car Racing America, Race 1
One of the first non-baseball tabletop sports games that I picked up was Red White & Blue Racin’ from PLAAY Games. It’s been one of the games I’ve consistently played for 10 years.
The first full season I played was the homebrewed 2012 Starbucks Cup, which took me a couple of years to finish, as did the 1979 NASCAR Winston Cup replay and the Stock Car America (SCRAM) 2016 Trucks Series (Pepsi Cup).
I’ve since begun 3 more series: 1960 SCRAM, 1984 NASCAR, and 2016 SCRAM. I’m about 15 races into the 2016 SCRAM season, but I’ve decided to put all three on hold.
I picked up the 2012 SCRAM season shortly after I picked up the original game. Over the years I had picked up that previous year’s NASCAR season, until Jeff Gordon retired in 2015. I then began to collect the SCRAM seasons starting with 2016. I’ve been running the 2016 on and off for the past 6 years.
During this year’s PLAAY holiday sale, they offered the SCRAM Anthology, all seasons from 2012-2022. I passed on ordering it since I had all the seasons except for 2013-2015. I contacted Keith Avallone at PLAAY Games about ordering just those seasons, and he said there was no problem doing that, so I did.
I then decided to start fresh and begin the SCRAM Anthology with the 2012 season. Here’s hoping I can finish an entire season (or two?) within a calendar year!

Stepping Back
Even though I’m about halfway done with the 2016 SCRAM Racing Series, I’ve decided to put that and the 1960 SCRAM season on hold and start at the beginning of SCRAM history, and run the 2012 season, which I bought shortly after picking up the original game 10 years ago.
From there I plan to run the next season’s schedule (SCRAM 2013) and so on, until I get caught up to SCRAM 2022 (or later).
First race will be run fairly soon.
Stay tuned!
2022 World Cup: ENG v. USA
2022 World Cup Pre-Play: Final and Third Place
2022 World Cup Pre-Play: Semifinals
Less than a week away from the World Cup tournament starting, and I finally got around to playing my semifinal matches.
Final score from Al Bayt Stadium:
Alas, England couldn’t get anything going, and two quick second half goals allow the Netherlands to advance to the Finals.

Final score from Lusail Iconic Stadium:
A hard fought match between the two squads as an injury time goal sends Portugal into the Finals.
Hat trick for Cristiano Ronaldo.

2013-14: IHL Game 1
2022: IHL Reborn
When I first bought Hockey Blast in 2014, I also purchased the fictional World Hockey League 2013-14 set. I created 12 teams but never got around to organizing a schedule for them.
Until now.
1969-70: Seals Season, Game 1
It begins!
The one thing I discovered when playing out this first game is that overtime didn’t exist until the 1983-84 season. Prior to that, tied games after 3 periods ended in a tie.
Like this one.
Final from Civic Arena:
I’m keeping things simple, stat wise, with just the score and who scored the goals.
Next up: the Chicago Black Hawks.
Stay tuned!
