Bah

While reading the rules for SSG Basketball I came to the realization that I didn’t want to have to print and cut out the game parts and FAC/timing deck. I watched an unboxing video and saw that the printed/physical game came with the deck and plenty of other stuff, like additional dice for markers used during play.

So I went and ordered the physical game and 1990-91 season set, the same things I just bought as PDFs.

Call it a loss in the ‘try before you buy’ category. The 1991 NBA Finals replay may turn into a full season replay with the Bulls or Warriors.

I’ve also decided that since I’m 2+ years out from my 50th birthday, my 1967 replays for basketball and (maybe) hockey are going to go on hold while I play other season replays that I’ve started.

Stay tuned!

1991: NBA Postseason?

Having read nothing but the first chart, I set up a Lakers-Warriors match up, rolled the dice (2d10 and 2d6, just like Payoff Pitch Baseball) to see who had control at tip off, rerolled for a shot, and Alton Lister missed a jumper. Sam Perkins grabbed the rebound and that’s where I stopped.

It can’t be THAT easy to play, can it?

I’ll read the full rules later today.

Stay tuned!

Since I appear to be 2-for-2 on games from Sideline Strategy, I decided to get the PDF version of their basketball game while it’s on sale.

I purchased the 1990-91 season along with it, and I’m going to attempt to rewrite history by playing a Finals series between the Chicago Bulls and the Golden State Warriors.
