ABSTRACT:
A game board apparatus for symbolically representing the play of a baseball game for two players. The board has rectangular coordinates disposed thereon with indicia identifying rows and columns. A baseball field is superimposed on said indicia. A plurality of movable team member figures representing members of each team and a ball figure is provided and dimensioned for placement on the board. A first cubic die is thrown for determining if a team member at bat takes a ball or makes either a strike or a hit. A second cubic die is thrown to determine whether a hit is a fly, grounder, or bunt. A set of six regular dodecahedron dice are provided which each have their sides numbered 1 through 12. Three are coded to the columns, and three are coded to the rows. Up to six are thrown for a fly, four for a grounder and two for a bunt. When thrown after a hit, the numbers on each similarly coded die are combined to define the row and column coordinates away from home plate which is (0,0) to which the ball is hit. Thereafter, the alternate throwing of one regular dodecahedron dice by each player is used to determine the number of squares the fielders, runners or the ball can move on each turn.
