For eight innings, the two teams have matched each other ball for ball. Incredible plays, stunning hits, near home runs plucked from the sky before they can sail over the boundary wall. It's the top of the ninth, and the coaches of these rival teams will do anything to claim victory in these final moments of the game of the year...

Correction: YOU will do anything you can. Because this is Blaseball: Wild Cards (the new name for Blaseball: The Card Game), and you're the Coaches in charge! You decide who's stepping up to pitch, who's batting first, and when to fire special abilities as your players round the bases. If you're smart - and a little bit lucky - you can pull ahead and steal the win!

(OK, maybe there is a little more than that... but not much, we promise!)

It's a card driven, dice rolling, super power triggering battle for only one thing – total Blaseball glory. You don't need to know anything about Blaseball (or even regular baseball) to enjoy the game. With a streamlined set of rules, all you need to know is play cards, roll dice, score runs. That's it!

In July of 2020, the absurdist online sports simulator Blaseball launched and quickly took the internet by storm with its unique combination of minimalist baseball(ish) information, horror-based mechanics, and intensely creative fanbase. Designed by North American design studio The Game Band, this was no flash in the pan. Playing out a season of 100+ games over the course of a week – one on the hour, every hour, followed by a thrilling series of playoff games – the virtual teams would pitch and bat through rain, wind, hail, storms of angry birds, reverb attacks and more. Champions rose. Players became heroes... and villains. Stories were written, songs composed, history documented. And as you'd expect, the fans wanted more, so in partnership with The Game Band, we created Blaseball: Wild Cards.

Blaseball: Wild Cards was designed by Rain Watt and Michael Fox, and sees two players face off against each other in a pitch battle for Blaseball glory. One player takes control of some of the finest players in the game, the Auric All-Stars – heavy hitters, fan favourites, almost unbeatable. On the other side stand the Canis Underdogs, a motley crew of heels and reprobates who will do anything to win... but which Coach will claim victory? Take to the field and prepare to Play Ball!
