Sure, let’s add the 1947 49ers replay, and put the 1967 Warriors replay back on the schedule.
Stay tuned!

PLAAY Digital Friday 2019
Current
Around my workstation/table top play area are the following games, waiting to be played.
- SSG Basketball
- Net Results Soccer
- Glory Days Boxing
- Face to the Mat
- B25 – Prince of the Skies
More hours in the day, or an extra day in the weekend.
I’ll get to all of them, along with the baseball and football and racing and hockey games.
Stay tuned!

In Progress, Revision to the Revised Revision of the Revision
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!
In Progress, Revised Revision to the Revision
In Progress, Revised Revision
I’m having so much fun playing Net Results Soccer that I’ve decided to make it my primary soccer sim, and Soccer Blast my secondary. The top three soccer replays listed are played with Net Results, the last one played with Soccer Blast. Final Score and The Beautiful Game are being semi-permanently shelved.
The tables now reflect the priority that I place in playing these replays. Baseball, soccer, and auto racing are my top played games. I haven’t touched football in almost 3 years, and have yet to start basketball or hockey.
Baseball season sims (1917, 1921, 1971) are all Ball Park Baseball, short projects are played with History Maker Baseball (D’Acquisto ’74) and Inside Pitch (Gooden ’85).
Racing sims are all Red White & Blue Racing.
Football (Broncos ’67) is split between Inside Blitz and Second Season. The Harbaugh ’90 project is played with Second Season.
Basketball (Warriors ’67) will be played with Inside the Paint.
Hockey will be played with Inside the Crease (Leafs ’67) and Hockey Blast (2014 quarter finals).
Stay tuned!
In Progress, Revised
I’ve cut back on projects by picking the full season replays that I plan to actually play in the next 3 months or so. This eliminated a few long dormant items on my list, allowing me to focus on what I’m already playing, and also allows me to narrow the choices on what else to play.
I’ve also separated the ‘short’ projects (less than a season, individual pitcher seasons, playoff runs) into their own list.
And of course there’s stuff like the heavyweight boxing tournament in Title Bout II and the Facebook Friends Wrestling Federation in Face to the Mat which are more like casual pick-up games that don’t require a schedule.
I hope to finally tally a game in both hockey and basketball fairly soon.
Stay tuned!
Reflections
I started playing table top games regularly when I decided to get reacquainted with Strat-O-Matic basic baseball.
I though that would be it. The dice tower/tray that I built (PepsiCo Park) was inspired by other player’s Strat-O-Matic-themed creations.
But then, through my brother, I discovered PLAAY Games’ Red White & Blue Racing, which led to History Maker Baseball, which further led to about half a dozen other baseball games that I’ve tried, and almost a dozen more that I haven’t, along with various football, basketball, hockey, soccer, golf, wrestling, and other sports.
Quite a library of games I’ve built up over the years, and who knows when/if I’ll get around to all of them.
But that’s my plan.
Stay tuned!
