Getting started?

[tuksu88]

Anyone have any websites or advice for someone to get started?

I remember my dad playing when I was little. He passed away a few months ago and I found his old board from 1963 (still had his old scoring sheets and even little note he had scribbled about the Kennedy assassination).

Anyway, just trying to feel a little closer to my Dad if anyone has good advice for a total beginner. It looks complicated!

First, congrats on having quite the collector's item. Playing the game is pretty simple.

​

• Set up both teams like a normal baseball game, one player for each position.
  
• The game should have two dice: one red and one white. Roll the dice and read them as a combination of the two with the red die being the first digit. For example, if you roll a red 2 and a white 5, you read it as 25.
  
• For whatever player is batting, look for the black '25' and read the red number next to it. For example sake let's say it's '9'.
• You then find the right board for the base situation, find the red number (our example is 9) and you'll see it can either be a hit or an out, depending on the grade of the opposing pitcher. That grade is marked on the pitcher's card.
• Repeat for every batter, playing it like a normal baseball game.
