About the game
Diceball! is a baseball board game that relies on the use of dice to play out a game between two players. On defense you use the dice to throw the ball, catch it and make relays. On offense you use the dice to hit the ball and run. You can order a player to steal a base or bunt. With all the decisions in the players hands, the dice determine your fate. This game can also be played solo, where you roll and make decisions for both teams. The best part is keeping track of the incredibly accurate stats.

Questions and answers

Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for Diceball! is 45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Diceball! for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
