Now you can be a player on the Indianapolis Clowns in this tabletop dice baseball game! You can play solo or against another player with nothing more than a pair of dice, a pencil, and the field and scorecard included in this activity book.

The rules work similar to a real baseball game. Each team has nine batters, and you play nine innings (though the scorecard includes a 10th inning should the game be tied at the end of the ninth inning). You have three outs per half inning. The scorecard includes a box score so you can easily keep track of who’s winning.

Each combination of rolled dice represents a play (an out, a single, a home run, a strikeout, etc.). The scorecard has the dice roll combinations printed on the card so you know exactly how to score each turn. For each at-bat, place one of the (that represent players), on home plate on the scorecard. Then roll each die. The results of the die will tell you what happened during that plate appearance. There’s only one roll for each player. You read the die with the lowest number first. So, if you rolled a 6 and a 2, you would look on the scorecard for a roll combination of 2-6 (the lower number comes first), which would be a ground out. If you look at the scorecard, it forces you to always do the lower number first anyway. You can’t even find a 5-3 combination, for example. If you score a hit or a run, you will tally it on the scorecard. May the best team win! Batter up!
