The rules, step by step
Setup
Each player receives their own player board, which tracks runs scored in a game and games won in the league. Players also get a team of cards, which they shuffle and draw six cards into their hand. The remaining cards are placed face down in their 'lineup' area. Additionally, a set of 'free agent' cards are laid face up in the center of the playing area, available for purchase later in the game.
Objective
The primary objective of Baseball Highlights: 2045 is to win a series of games. The first player to win four games against their opponent is declared the overall winner of the league. Each individual game involves scoring more runs than your opponent over a series of turns.
On your turn
During a game, players take turns playing cards from their hand. Each card represents a player and has offensive and defensive abilities. When playing a card offensively, it might result in a single, double, triple, or home run, moving runners around the bases. Defensive cards can be played to cancel or reduce the opponent's hits. There are different types of runners (slow, average, fast) with varying movement rules; fast runners get an extra base when advancing.
Scoring
Runs are scored in a game when a runner successfully advances around all bases and reaches home plate. The player who scores more runs by the end of the game wins that particular game. The player boards are used to track the runs scored in the current game and the total number of games won in the league.
Game end
A game concludes after both players have played all six cards from their hand. The player with the most runs scored in that game wins. If the game is tied after all cards are played, it goes into 'extra innings.' In extra innings, each player draws three cards from the top of their lineup, and the first player to score a run wins that game. The overall match ends when one player accumulates four game wins.
Tips
Players can strategically use a 'pinch hitter' by discarding a card from their hand to play a card previously placed 'on deck' face down. This allows for flexibility in responding to an opponent's play. Between games, players can use 'green points' (indicated on their played cards) to purchase free agent cards. These purchased cards are immediately placed on top of their lineup deck, ensuring they are drawn in the next game, allowing players to improve their team and adapt their strategy.
