I don't mean any hyperbole when I say this may be the most perfect baseball game ever made. It's certainly the best baseball game I've played (and that includes the excellent History Maker Baseball from PLAAY.com). It's not the most statistically in-depth or accurate (I'd say that title belongs to the Strat-O-Matic games), but it is the most accurate to the spirit of the game. This game feels like baseball, there's no other way to describe it. Every pitch, every hit, every out screams "baseball!" I can see Ian White hit back-to-back home runs, I can feel the excitement of the Chickadees as they chase their first-ever pennant.

Everything works together so seamlessly. Games are quick and easy to roll up without losing any of the fun of the real game. The games aren't bogged down by having to check player cards or a dozen charts, but they're not so simple that it doesn't feel like baseball. All of the different dice make me feel like I'm playing an RPG (which I know is what the creator was going for) and I really love that about this game!

Leagues and players are super quick and easy to create. I'd say that after you have everything memorized (which isn't hard), you can roll up an entire league with full rosters in about an hour! The last thing I want to mention is the worldbuilding. Wow, the worldbuilding! I'd kill to see a sourcebook full of nothing but the history of the Southern Circuit! That's how intrigued I am by just the little bit of backstory this game gives us. Every team is listed with its roster and a small bio talking about their prospects for the current year, and it's so well-thought out and interesting that I just want more! Kudos to WM Akers for creating what may be the most faithful tabletop simulation of baseball ever conceived.
