Hey Max! Looks like an awesome game you have there. I was a late pledge on Kickstarter, and I can't wait to get this game when it's released. Thanks for the playthrough!
@Max Jamelli I've played a lot of baseball board games, but those games dealt with playing an actual baseball game. Run, hits, errors, etc. I've always wanted to see a game where you ran a franchise from the business angle, and I'm really looking forward to this.
My understanding is that when the KS backers receive their copies (which hopefully is soon based on our updates) then Mr. B games will have copies of Lords of Baseball available on their website. If you follow the LoB facebook page or Boardgamegeek page there will be updates posted when we know for sure.
Well, this looks like a fun game to invest some time in. Especially over that long winter break. Glad to see the Matteo franchise was a banger for you in that first season.
I played this at GenCon and really loved it. Please keep us informed as to when we can purchase the finished project because I will, most definitely, be purchasing it. Thanks for a great game!!!!
I got my game and am really enjoying it. Great work! One quick rules question though. I understand for NPT in 1911 you use the "starter" tiles for TQ. For 1912 (and subsequent seasons), do the TQ tiles for all NPT get re-drawn from the supply?
yes. Provided that they aren't removed from the game. If all human players exceed the win total of an NPT, that NPT is removed. Otherwise, all NPT tokens are redrawn during the following spring training phase.
I understand about the budget. I am there too. Lords of Baseball should be available at retail through our publishers though so you haven’t totally missed out. 👍🏻
I thought I had dealt myself 2 - my poor camera work (sorry about that by the way) doesn’t allow me to see the original hand I drew. You could be right though.
You are absolutely correct! Thank you! I bet I was more concerned with my shoddy camera work and explaining the extra resolution die. Add one more win to my season total. Thankfully the extra win doesn't impact the VP chart from this season - but sometimes every little win counts.
@@maxjamelli12345 I definitely know how it feels to miss something because your brain is thinking of 1000 other things while the lights and camera are on!
Yes. When the kickstarter backers all receive their copies, it’s my understanding that the game will be available on the Mr. B website (along with whatever conventions Mr. B attends)
Only had a chance to watch the first few minutes but this looks like it may be my next obsession. Can’t wait to watch more.
Getting mine today, Max. Can't tell you how much I've been looking forward to it. Well done. This should survive repeated play well.
Thing of beauty!
Thank you for this playthrough.
Very helpful. I am looking forward to playing this for the first time.
I hope you enjoy!
Great review, really like the game! Thank you.

I missed this kickstarter, hopefully I will be able to get this game when it comes out.

Cards, board, and components look great!
I agree - there have been some minor changes to my knowledge from this test copy to the copy that is coming ever so soon ...

I hope you have fun with it.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it! If you subscribe to our BoardGameGeek page or Facebook page you’ll get all the news on availability I bet.

@@maxjamelli12345 Makes sense. Thank you for the quick response!
Really looking forward to playing my copy. Thematically, I think it would make more sense to change victory points to franchise value.
I like the term franchise value. It's a bit late to make any official change, but I do like it.
After watching this, I really wished I had backed it. My budget was stretched too thin at the time but I'm definitely putting it on my "To Buy" list.
I understand about the budget. I am there too. Lords of Baseball should be available at retail through our publishers though so you haven’t totally missed out. 👍🏻
I think you played the Buy Media card twice.
I thought I had dealt myself 2 - my poor camera work (sorry about that by the way) doesn’t allow me to see the original hand I drew.
You could be right though.
Hey Max! At 34:53 I think you forgot to add the extra TQ for that series only from your card so you should have tied Washington!

This looks awesome. Is there really no way to buy this? I went to Kickstarter and it wouldn’t let me purchase it.
Yes. When the kickstarter backers all receive their copies, it’s my understanding that the game will be available on the Mr. B website (along with whatever conventions Mr. B attends)
Can I have the link for Mr Bs site so I can go ahead and book mark it
