The Table Top Sports Games of Chris Saguisag
July 14, 1979: Busch Nashville 420
Race results and current standings:
Richard Petty and Bobby Allison tangled early and often during the race, eventually causing a yellow flag during the waning laps, and taking Wayne Watercutter with them. The result was Darrell Waltrip regaining the points lead.
Your race winner, Dale Earnhardt!
Next up: the Coca-Cola 500 @ Pocono Raceway.
Stay tuned!
I missed the initial announcements by about a week, but apparently there are plans in the works for a revamping of the look and feel of the cards and dice version of the game, in addition to a COMPUTER version of the game.
What’s most impressive to me is the news that the computer version will run on Windows, Mac OS, Linux, iOS and Android.
ANDROID.
AS IN I CAN PLAY ON MY FREAKING PHONE.
Or at the very least, my iPad via iOS.
The thing is, as exciting as this is, I may still opt to play the cards and dice version.
At least all of my older season cards will still be playable with the new stuff. And thy’re going to release sets with ALL players per team, which is an issue when you play full season replays with current BPB sets.
Sadly, since I was a week late on this news, I missed out on being a tester for either the new format or the computer version of the game. Ah well.
Stay tuned!
I mentioned it elsewhere (Facebook) that I decided to abandon the Box Seat Baseball replay and just play this one with Ball Park Baseball, which I’m more familiar with, and I had the season cards for this one as well.
Box Seat Baseball is a solid game, it just seems like there’s even more chart flipping that I would do with BP Baseball.
Let’s see how long it takes me to do THIS replay.
Stay tuned!
A friend on Facebook posted a list of his top ranked golfers, so I asked him for a foursome of golfers that I could play a round with in History Maker Golf.
I decided to have them play at Augusta (of course) and called it the Inaugural John Price Invitational.
The results:
Amazingly, Bobby Jones birdie’d on the 18th to force a playoff with Ben Hogan.
Which I didn’t play until about a week later.
Jones’ game totally fell apart in the second half.
Congratulations, Ben Hogan, winner of the Inaugural John Price Invitational!
Have an idea for a foursome? Or even a pair of golfers to have me play? Let me know.
Stay tuned!
My second attempt at playing the Opening Day game of the Giants 1971 season using Box Seat Baseball seems to be going smoother than the first one.
I found myself making so many mistakes that I couldn’t justify that first play through as a legitimate game.
And I’m leaning toward not wiping the current game because I think I’ve made fewer mistakes in game play, the flow of which I’m getting used to.
I’ll probably end up replaying this one, though, once I feel that I have a more solid grasp of all the rules.
Dice AND flip cards. What a concept.
Through 4-1/2 innings the Giants are up 4-1 on the Padres. I’ll finish the game up later.
Stay tuned!
My brother was right about the rules for Box Seat Baseball: they’re a bit much to get through after one read-through.
Plus I’m distracted by the arrival of other games (sport and non-sport), and I’m trying to fit in a round of golf as suggested by another friend on Facebook.
Hopefully all this will clear by the beginning of next week.
Stay tuned!
