Description

This game attempts to use a magnetic board and accessories to simulate a baseball game. One player or team will be up at bat, controlling a switch to move players via vibrations from an electric motor. The other player will be pitching and fielding.

Pitching is done via a spring loaded accessory. Using the accessory you fling a magnet onto a pitching board. The board has labels for strikes, fouls, ball, balks, wild pitches and a batter. The batter then hits the board trying to accurately guess where the magnet landed. They use a spring loaded paddle to try to propel the magnet onto the main board or on the outfield board. Once the ball is hit the motor is turned on and plastic playing pieces then wiggle their way to the next base. Simultaneously, the pitcher tries to use the fielding device to throw the magnet to the correct base.

The rules indicate you can play with teams up to 9 per side (just like real baseball), but head to head would likely provide the best games.

A very neat game which is part of the Tru-Action line which included football, sports car racing, baseball, basketball and horse racing.
