    Description

    A 9-card game about stacking hands on a baseball bat.


    Remember that game where you stack your hands on a bat?!

    Players will stack hands, left then right, forming a baseball bat until they reach the end card, and no additional hand can fit under the tip. At that point, final scores are tallied and the player with the most points win.

    —description from the publisher


    COMPONENTS
    1 End of Bat card
    6 Player cards
    2 Flippable L-R cards with faces on both sides

    SETUP
    1) Separate the deck into 3 parts:
    • Place the two double sided cards onto the table with the two hands on the bottom (L-R) and the single hand on top (L). Each card's bottom edge must touch the line on the previous card.
    • Place the bat end on the other end of the table.
    • Deal the remaining cards to players as equally as possible.

    TURN
    On your turn you will do ONE of the below actions:

    Place a card from your hand onto the top of the bat (order must always be L then R)
    Score the points in the baseball icon on the card that you placed, then take any card from the pile EXCEPT the top card, and all cards below that one.

    -OR-

    Move a card that is already on the bat, to the top of the bat (order must always be L then R)
    Score the points in the baseball icon on the card that you moved, the take all cards from the pile that were below the card that you took.

    If you cannot place or move a card, you must pass your turn.

    The 2 double sided cardswith the flip icon can be flipped over before they are placed, in order to change the hand.

    END OF THE GAME
    The game ends when all players cannot fit a card under the end of the bat, and pass their turns.

    The last card to fit under the end of the bat line, gets 1 bonus point.

    Cards in hand are worth negative points based on the number in the bottom corner. The player with the highest score wins.


    Released in the October 2016 Board Game of the Month Club $10+ package.
