About the game
"People ask me what I do in the winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring." - Rogers Hornsby Don’t worry, Rogers, your wait is over! 7th Inning Stretch is a unique solo card-drafting and dice-chucking baseball game where you get to be the whole organization - GM, manager, and players - as you build your team, set your lineups, and then play out the final innings of a few key games each season. If you do well enough in these regular season games, you can qualify for the playoffs and earn a chance to bring home the ultimate prize! Each season you will draft your team, set your schedule, arrange your lineup, and then roll and modify dice to determine the outcome of offensive plays and defensive innings. Decisions like choosing your clean-up hitter, deciding when to steal bases, and selecting the right pitcher are crucial to your success. Featuring engine-building and push-your-luck mechanisms paired with a nostalgic 20th-century baseball card aesthetic - not to mention a special duel mode where you and a friend can play out a full 9-inning game in under an hour - 7th Inning Stretch allows you to chase all of your childhood baseball dreams without breaking a sweat! —description from the publisher
