📖 About This Game

Play your pitch, put a little something on it, and hope the batter doesn't have you figured out yet. It's the bottom of the ninth, with two outs, and the bases loaded, and you've fallen behind 3-0. You need three strikes to win this game, but the batter will be examining everything you do for hints at what pitch is coming next. Each card in your deck is a different pitch landing on one of nine spaces over the plate. Pick your pitch and your angle, as the batter tries to guess exactly where you're throwing. You have a few cards to vary up your pitches, but each one you use limits your options and gives the batter a little more information. Can you get that third strike before he has you figured out? —description from the designer
