Eighties Baseball is a highly-regarded, affordable, quick-playing tabletop simulation that uses two 10-sided dice (2 D10s) and specific charts to determine gameplay outcomes. It is praised for its ability to balance statistical realism with a fast pace, making it an excellent choice for solo players or those who want to complete full-season replays quickly. Games typically take less than 30 minutes to complete, which is significantly faster than many traditional simulations. All the action takes place via the game engine and team and player charts so there’s no cards to cut and sort. Eighties Baseball offers splits, baserunning ratings, injuries, ballpark weather effects, and the possibility of manager/player ejections. Eighties Baseball is often cited as a "sweet spot" game—simple enough for beginners to learn quickly, yet deep enough to satisfy stat-heavy "sim-heads". Every season in the 1980s is available along with a dozen other historical campaigns, and all of the World Series teams of the 20th Century, sold by decades. Only available from www.pocolpress.com.
