Well put chris the idea is you can have up to 6 teams slugging it out and im guessing its first to 7 rather than basic scores but how mad do you think a 6 team slugfest would be

I've playetested it.

It's mental :D

Scoring a strike will gain you points but lose them for the side (or sides) defending the strike zone where you scored.

The ref stays in the middle so the edges of the board are good for fouling as her 7 hex range doesn't reach that far :)

Yeah, board was just available to order in the 3rd survey for the Kickstarter (which I can't remember when delivery is due for).

Playtesting is finished, the Season 3 book is being put together in layout now (I also just created all the summary and reference sheets for players for photocopy/scan which will be in the book covering all the teams, MVPs, abilities and the new GIANTs from all 3 seasons).

No. Only the reference sheets cover all three seasons. The rules in the book are the 4 season 3 teams, new mvps, giants, multiplayer and rules changes (judwan, ball launch etc.)

Jake was in the office yesterday and today working on finalising the book layout so it can't be far off (for kickstarter backers at least).

I can try and find out a date.

That would be great because we are in the middle of a league and seeing that has given me a great idea for a finale
