The Table Top Sports Games of Chris Saguisag
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!
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!
I think I figured out why I’m not too interested in playing the 1939 Giants replay.
It’s too close to the 1917 MLB replay.
At least in my mind.
So, I’m going to suspend the 1939 season replay, and start another replay in a year that’s near and dear to me.
That’s the 1971 San Francisco Giants team card from Topps.
1971 was the year I remember going to a baseball game for the first time. This may or may not be true.
1971 was the year a rookie by the name of Chris Speier started playing for the Giants.
1971 was the year the Giants lost the NLCS to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
I’m also going to switch games from Ball Park Baseball to Box Seat Baseball. That game as been collecting dust for about 5 years now (along with way too many other sports games) and I think it’s high time I finally learned how to play it.
Stay tuned!
I just happen to be at the Giants home opener in my 1939 replay, so that’s what I’ll play for Opening Day 2019.
This year’s traditional flyby will be performed by a pair of Viper Mk.II ships from the Battlestar Galactica.
Here they come…
And there they go!
Game will be played when I get home from work tonight.
Stay tuned!
I’ve been on a board game kick for the past month, mainly because of a trip to Dice Tower West in Las Vegas, less than a week from the last table top sports game that I played.
That changes this week, of course, what with baseball’s Opening Day in a few days.
Plus I’ll probably get around to the NASCAR and SCRAM racing series that I have running.
And I’ll probably do a boxing match or two in the next week or so.
Stay tuned!
