Dice Baseball Game Rules & How to Play

These rules aren't set in stone - mix it up, throw in some booze or other fun substances, tweak the rules, go with the flow, whatever floats your boat!

The object of the game is to have the most runs after 9 innings.

When it is your turn, roll both dice and look for the meaning of that dice combination. The player who is up at bat will keep rolling and moving around the bases until they get three outs. All that player’s pieces are removed from the bases.

The other player/team then gets a turn to be on bat and roll the dice to move around the bases. When both players/teams have had a turn, time for a new inning and play continues until all 9 innings have been played.

The recorded outs get reset each time a player/team starts at bat, while the runs are recorded throughout all innings.
