Lords of Baseball (Two-Player Expansion 1)

With this expansion the game accomodates up to six players (and with the other two-player expansion the game would accomodate up to eight players). When playing Lords of Baseball, players choose teams from only one of the leagues (a game is played with either Federal or Continental teams). In the main game there is a New York team in the Federal league. That team is different from the Continental league New York team available in the first two-player expansion. So if you can’t get enough of teams from the Big Apple (or Beantown), this expansion is for you.

A game of Lords of Baseball is played out over a pre-determined number of seasons (three, five, or seven). Each player has a team and stadium mat where they track the progress and development of the franchise. Players will utilize the various card decks to alter their team’s abilities and to gain competitive edges during series against their opponents. Results are tracked on the main game board. Wins each season, fan support and victory points are shown there. In general players need to balance three objectives: winning games, earning money, and improving their stadiums. Be careful, it is easy to lose focus on one category and fail to score as well as someone that keeps all three balls in play.
