Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- base-running, stealing, and hits — Hits advance runners on bases; steals require specific dice results; walks and outs shape inning outcomes and scoring.
- deck management and scheduling — Two decks (yellow for players, red for teams) feed the bench and the schedule; players move between bench and schedule as the game progresses.
- dice drafting — Players roll and assign dice to produce outcomes that drive hits, outs, and runs; dice results directly influence on-field success.
- dice drafting and resolution — Players roll and assign dice to produce outcomes that drive hits, outs, and runs; dice results directly influence on-field success.
- drafting and bench management — During spring training, players draft new talent and decide which players join the bench versus the team roster.
- exhaustion tokens — Exhaustion tokens modify opponent dice rolls; token usage is limited per inning, adding a strategic resource management layer.
- half-season and playoff structure — Split seasons into first half, trade deadline, and second half, followed by semifinals and finals, with progression driven by wins and stars.
- multi-phase turns — Turns cycle through drafting, fielding/batting actions, and pitching adjustments, mirroring baseball rhythm and strategic pacing.
- resource and score tracking — Scoreboard tracks runs, outs, and eventual wins; star points factor into playoff progression and victory conditions.
- Variable Phase Order — Turns cycle through drafting, fielding/batting actions, and pitching adjustments, mirroring baseball rhythm and strategic pacing.
