Dice Baseball Games

Tabletop baseball simulation games have been around nearly as long as the game itself. Since the 1880s, baseball fans have used many different means to duplicate their favorite teams and players, including with cards and spinners. Games using dice have always been popular and continue to this day, competing in a field now crowded with lifelike video games.

Slamdice
- One current baseball dice game is called Slamdice. The game has a board that looks similar to a Monopoly board with a baseball field in the middle. The dice used in the game are customized for hitters, pitchers and fielders. These dice help determine what happens in the game, while standard dice move the players around the strategy squares on the board. Slamdice can be played with from two to eight players, dividing up the duties of batter, pitcher, fielders and managers.
Dice Baseball
- Dice Baseball, made by Gen 1400 games, is a good example of a modern baseball simulation game using dice. Dice Baseball comes with the real statistics of hundreds of major league baseball players, which allows the game players to re-create specific match-ups or replay an entire season. Like other games in this category, the company offers sets of statistics from past seasons to appeal to baseball historians and fans of specific teams.
Older Dice Games
- Other baseball dice games have come and gone, relegated now to yard sales and eBay. Among other dice baseball games are All-in-the-Dice Baseball, DiceBall, Ebbets Field Pro Baseball Game, Evergreen Baseball and Jose Canseco's Perfect Baseball Game. Older baseball tabletop games are still a popular topic on the Internet, with message boards for collectors and players alike.
