"It's a race to be the first to assemble your winning baseball team. Collect your Infield, Outfield, Pitcher, Catcher, Batter and score a Home Run. Scout for Recruits and Free Agents. Try not to strike out or hit a fly ball as you compete to pull together your team. Home Run Baseball SportACTION Card Game is the next best thing to being at the ballpark." -- From the Manufacturer.
Using a card drawing mechanic, players attempt to complete their "team,"by assembling one player card for each position (of the same color) and a Home Run card. Different cards represent the different positions -- Infield, Outfield, Pitcher, Batter and Catcher, as well as special cards which cause different game effects, and wild cards which can replace other player cards on your "team."
