BASEBALL AT CARDS is a single-player baseball roguelike deckbuilder where every at-bat is a hand of cards, every game is a card battle against a pitcher, and every run ends the moment you lose. FREE TO TRY, ONE-TIME UNLOCK Download and play a free sample game to learn the ropes. Unlock the full game — including the complete branching run, all hitter archetypes, every boss, and the full game economy — with a single one-time in-app purchase. No subscriptions, no ads. BUILD YOUR ROSTER Start with 9 Average Joe players, each contributing 6 cards to your 54-card deck. Recruit new archetypes — power hitters, contact specialists, base stealers, and count-control specialists — and replace any of your 9 roster slots as you go. Every archetype has a unique card composition that can change the way you play. WALK THE MAP The run is a branching path, not a ladder. Regular-season stops — games, training, and events — earn you cash and buffs, but no new talent. Playoff stops — boss fights and shops — are where you recruit and spend. Take big risks for bigger rewards, or play it safe and build steadily. FIGHT LIKE A PITCHER'S NIGHTMARE Balls, strikes, fouls, steals, bunts, wild pitches, home runs — every card you draw is a decision. 21 boss pitchers each carry their own rule-bending modifiers, from shortened innings and faster outs to forced ball counts, turning a familiar deck into a fresh puzzle every run. ONE RUN, ONE SHOT Permadeath: lose a single fight and the run is over. Every draft, every shop visit, and every event choice matters right up to the final unknown ace waiting at the end of the road. * 13 hitter archetypes with distinct card compositions. * A branching, regenerating run map — no two runs play the same. * 21 boss pitchers with unique modifiers, plus a hidden pool of 3 possible final bosses. * A scripted event system with real trade-offs, not just flavor text. * One-time purchase unlocks the full game — no subscriptions, no ads.
