Published Seasons – 1961 to 2024.
SBRG Baseball (“SRBG”) is a classic-style baseball sim that uses a 20-sided die and three 6-sided dice to drive the action. In a manner similar to Statis Pro Baseball, the d20 is used to determine if the pitcher or batter card is used to resolve the plate appearance. Each pitcher has a unique “dominator” rating, expressed as a range, such as 7-20. If the d20 roll falls within the range the pitcher controls the plate appearance. Otherwise, the batter card is used. The play result is read from the appropriate player card based on the 3d6 dice roll. The white die determines the column to be used and the two black d6 dice are summed to determine the row. The cards have a somewhat unconventional design, with the columns having uneven probabilities: 1-3, 4-5, and 6.
SBRG has basic runner advancement rules as well as left-right platoon split effects.
The game was shipped in a colorful shrink-wrapped box and included a play mat. Each team comes with 27 player cards. There was also a “light” version that did not have the game box or the playmat.
The game was initially launched through a Kickstarter campaign. Unfortunately, the designer no longer produces SRBG due to a natural disaster that destroyed the equipment that was used to produce the game. There is a Facebook group dedicated to SRBG but it is inactive: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556348115741
