Compete with friends and family in this action-packed tabletop baseball experience that's fun for all ages - indoors or out! Steps to setup the game: Roll out your 5x5 baseball diamond. Flip a coin to see who bats or pitches first. Load the StrikeZone baseball into the Pitcher's hand. Pull back on the spring-loaded lever and release to fire the plunger into the back of the ball - sending it towards home plate. With your left-hand, pull on the Batter's Line to raise and lower his arms and the bat. With your right-hand, pull back on the home plate lever to rotate your Batter's hips and swing through the ball. How to score: If you hit the ball to a Catcher, Fielder, or Pitcher before it hits the ground - you're out! If you ground hit the ball to a Catcher, Fielder, or Pitcher - you hit a single. (StrikeZone uses ghost runners to run the bases). If you ground hit a ball past everyone - you hit a double or a triple based on where it rolled off the edge of the field (as marked by a 2 or a 3 on the field). If you hit a fair ball in the air past everyone and above The Blue Monster - you hit a homer! For an extra fun rule twist, we recommend giving human players (whoever's pitching or on defense) the ability to catch a ball in mid-air. Catch the ball before it hits the ground or the basement wall and save a run! Strikes, balls, foul balls, outs and hitting the Batter with a pitch all follow traditional baseball scoring rules. How does a player win: Just like in Baseball, a player to score most in thier innings is a winner. —description from the publisher
