Welcome to the Big Leagues. Our standard, all-ages rules finely balance skill and luck for big, cheering moments every inning. It’s the most fun you can legally have on a baseball field.

The home team takes the field first, placing their 8 dice on the 8 fielding positions. (Sorry catchers, you’re sitting this one out.) Fielders will often get bumped around during play. Do not reset their positions until the start of the next half-inning.

The away team bats first. Batters place a die on home plate and flick it. Where the die lands determines the type of hit, while the number rolled may trigger special modifiers. (See below.)

After resolving the play:
- If the batter is safe, place the flicked die on the correct base and advance all on-base runners accordingly.
- If the batter is out, toss the flicked die into the out gutter.

Then, the next player on the team steps up to bat.
After three outs, teams switch sides, from fielding to batting.
After 9 innings, the team with the most runs wins!
