- Since my Twins are in the playoff's this year, thought I would do a solo play of Baseball 2045 using the Minnesota Twins starter deck! Hope you enjoy!

I love the way the AI works, simple card flip but uncannily accurate in it's tactics.
Agreed!! Simple yet effective! Thanks for watching!
Yessss I love this game! Teaching this game with preseason games instead of simply doing the buy rounds is a smart idea. I liked that.
One rule I missed when I was getting into this game was that you can Pinch Hit your On Deck OR the top card of your deck. I find that choice very powerful. I didn't see this mentioned yet so it may help in the big series.
Can't wait for the World Series!
Steve!! Thanks for the reminder, I did not explain that one. Let's see if it helps with the World Series!! Out of curiosity, do you own any of the expansions? I got all 7 but am trying to decide which one to start with?
One Stop Co-op Shop I have all the expansions but not all the starting teams. When I receive the recent Kickstarter, I should have everything but half the starting teams. This game is so good, I can't help but getting nearly all of it
Ohh there was a kickstarter? Are there going to be more than 7 expansions? Yeah I only have additional starter teams of Seattle and Minnesota. The game is just so gosh darn fun, I can't stop playing it! Reminds me of Clank! where there are uber simple mechanics but still fun gameplay. That is impressive!
One Stop Co-op Shop Yes there the Kickstarter was for a reduced content and price game (for easier entry into the series) but also added 3 new expansions to bring the total to 10. Delivery should be in a few weeks I think. Fortunately, I think all but maybe one single card will be available at retail.
Baseball Highlights 2045: SPRING TRAINING!!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/eaglegryphon/baseball-highlights-2045-spring-training
I know i'm skimming some of these quickly but I'm coming back to watch in full for sure
Loved the intro!
Thanks! It was fun to make!
Awesome intro, Colin! :)
Thanks Markus!!
Such a great game. Glad to see it getting some love. Sorry about your Twins. As a Red Sox fan I was really pulling for them to beat the evil empire.
Thanks Jason, it was a tough loss, but I wasn't expecting them to go far. Now on to rooting for the Red Sox!!
DAMN this game looks fun! Can't wait for mine to show up
It's great!! Have fun!
@@OneStopCoopShop I definitely will! I randomly came across Bottom of the 9th and loved it both solo and two player, and when I talked about it people kept mentioning this one.
I see why now! I love the deckbuilding ideas here and the cyborg baseball theme is very Basewars on the NES, such a great aesthetic!
Totally agree!! It works great solo and competitive too. If you enjoy the theme this is a no brainer
Sorry about your Twins. I loved the little pre produced intro! go Sox! Haha.
It happens, didn't expect them to go far! Go Sox!!!
I got this game a bit ago, but haven't had a chance go get it to the table. Thanks for making the instructions easier to understand!! I wasn't sure how fun it would be as a solo game, but now I think it's time to give it a whirl.
How much do the team expansions add to the base game?
As a Yankee fan I'll forgive you rooting against my team... this time! :)
Sure thing Wendy! The hardest part of the game at first is to understand the "flow" so hopefully the vid's helped. Also don't forget I played the fast runners wrong! They go an extra base only when they are runners, NOT when they are the hitters!! Team expansions add very little, each starting team has 1 or 2 at most unique cards. The 7 base expansions provides more cards for the free market etc. Thanks for forgiving me about the Yankees, I always root for the underdog since MN is always an underdog hahahaha!!
hey there, thanks for the video. a little rules mistake happened. the red runners are only faster once they are on base. so, a single is still a single, but a fast runner on first base, goes home on a hit double. cheers.
Bummer!! So I read in the rules "All Fast Base Runners always advance 1 more base than the hit." But I do see that specifically states base runners. . . So this does not count if they are the ones that hit the ball?
I confirmed you are right on BGG!! I made a note thanks!!
Yep. Only the base runners gain the bonus. 😉
Appreciate the help!
you're welcome :)
I have the spring training edition of this game. How much do the expansion cards add? I don't know which ones to get or if I should even get them at all.
In not sure sorry I ended up selling the game!
thanks for the vid, sorry about theTwins....
nice finish for the second game!!!
Thanks for watching! A bit bummed but hey at least they got to the playoffs this year. . .More than what I could ask for!
Nice,I'm a strat o matic player, this seems different but fun. May have to pick this up.
It's a good one for sure!! Thanks for watching!
I'm from Houston, taking down the Yankees, Red Socks and Dodgers was amazing. So glad they had to earn it the hard way. It made the victory that much sweeter.
Hi ! I'm a beginner to this game, just got it, and I have a question : at 15:00, the fast hitter going on base 1, you put him on base 2 even if it's a single because he's fast. But I think I read on the bgg faq that when a batter move, he moves only the indicated hit, no matter their speed. Just wanna check if I understood this right. Thanks for this video !
Same with the double fast runner behind him
Also, at 26:00, you add a pawn for the quick eye homerun, and I don't understand why :/
So you are right I missed that in the faq sorry!!
@@OneStopCoopShop Don't worry no problem !
Hmmm if one knows what their doing, this looks like a quick playing game but wow, how long does it take on avg, to figure all this out? Are the instructions CLEAR? And one more question; what is the point of playing the “pre-season” game before the 1st world series game? Was that just for demo? Seems like anyone should start this game by going to that first “buy/draft” mode to upgrade your roster. Then play 1st season game. Then I assume according to rules, you do the draft/upgrade before playing the next season game. That sound right? I cant decide if I would like this. Bottom of the 9th has concepts of pitching, balls, strikes... very different but seems more like real baseball. This game is like “hitting/derby”. No concepts of strikes, balls, outs. But overall it appears to be simpler that BottomO9th. In BottomO9th, looks like theres a lot of card-ref-lookups to determine various outcomes... so contantly referring to the charts on the cards to determine outcomes of dice rolls, etc. Looks laborious compared to this game. But learning this game doesnt look easy. Neither do actually.
Yeah honestly it took a bit to get used too, but once you do this is super quick and intuitive. I like how you threaten and your opponent can respond etc. Pretty cool system that gives you fast play but still feels like baseball!
As a Braves fan I prefer not think about the '91 World Series ...
This game reminds me of one of my favorite Futurama episodes
"Now, Wireless Joe Jackson, there was a blern hitting machine!"
HAHAHA sorry to bring that up. Fortunately you have a few other years you can reminisce about right? Love the futurama reference!!
There was a NES game named similarly, where you bought upgrades to players as you won games. I only played a couple of times at a friend’s house...all I remember is that it was very creative and deserves a remake. Is this loosely like the NES game (if you are familiar with it)?
I have never played the NES game but it sounds cool. . .I really do love this one!
i remember what you're talking about. there was glass on the stands and the foul balls and such bounced off. i think the one i remember was snes.
The actual score of the Twin game was close to your first game 🤔
Buhahaha!!!
Have you ever played the NES game Base Wars? It's all about robots playing baseball. You can upgrade them in various ways and it's a blast. It's one of my two favorite sports video games. The other favorite is the Super Nintendo game Mega Man Soccer, where, again, it's Robot characters, but if you win against a particular team (made up of all the same type of robot), you get to take one of their robots and put them in your roster, thereby configuring your team slowly throughout the campaign by exchanging robots with other teams. It's a blast.
No I haven't but it sounds really cool thanks for sharing!! I love baseball a lot so if you know of any other solo or co-op baseball games let me know!
If u really want to have some cool Baseball Games then the SNK NEO-GEO is the system most of those games u can also play now on other systems.
Cool thanks for this, Gert!
I'm curious how balanced the teams are. I remember NBA Jam back in the 1990s secretly nerfed the Chicago Bulls. www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/26/nba-jam-rigged_n_3998321.html
Are you talking about starting teams? If so they are quite similar with I think only a couple minor differences between decks. I will say I think the Twins one is the best ha!!
