About the game

What is Deadball?

Deadball is a fast-paced baseball game for one or two players that uses real statistics and RPG dice to bring the ballpark to your tabletop. In fifteen or twenty minutes, simulate a full game between real or imaginary teams, using an elegantly simple system that's intuitive to die-hards and casual fans alike. For the dead of winter, for the dead of night, for when your team is dead in the water, Deadball is there.
