There are boards that account for each possible situation: Bases Empty, Man on First, First and Second, etc., so, with a Man on First, I roll and get a 6 and a 6 the outcome for the batter is a DOUBLE and it says “Runner Scores, S out at home.” That means that, if my runner at First is rated S on his card, he is out at the plate.īut, you are given options. Say I roll and the white die is a 5 and the color one is a 1 I read my result as “51” and look on that player’s card for 51 and then apply the number next to it, say 9, and that translates to a SINGLE to RIGHT. The outcome is determined by a roll of two dice.īasically, you roll the dice and you read the white one either as the first or second number in the pair. One of my friends said his uncle plays “Strat.”? Any ideas?įirst, “Strat” is “Strat-o-Matic” and it is a board game that you play with dice, as is the other popular baseball game APBA.īoth games take the stats from a completed season and, using a math and some algorithms create a card for each player that represents his abilities there are ratings for defense and speed, but most of the card is dedicated to sets of numbers that will result in a batting outcome. My brothers and I are looking for a baseball game, as in MONOPOLY game and computer game, to play this winter.
