What is baldorf? It’s a game created by two U.S. Peace Corps Volunteers while they were serving in Jamaica. Upon their return to the U.S., the two formed the non-profit charitable organization Mystic Rhoads Productions (MRP), and developed baldorf as an MRP product. In its simplest terms, baldorf is a game played on a court where players use a ball and athletic ability to score points over 3 innings. Yet the game serves a wider purpose in helping MRP empower communities by supporting great deeds. This game is the mobile adaption of the real-life game, so you can play it anywhere on the go! Compete to achieve a high score, customize your dorf to the way you like, or even play with friends in local multiplayer.
