Blaseball Becomes A Board Game
Blaseball is going to become a board game at some point in the very near future. The company behind the beloved pastime, The Game Band, announced that Blaseball: The Card Game will be starting a crowdfunding campaign in the spring of 2022.
“The Sun 2 sits high in the sky as the birds in the outfield lazily pick at discarded peanut shells,” the statement reads. “As the teams take to the field, the fans erupt, knowing that they're about to witness the best of the best. On one side, the All-Stars — the pinnacle of Blaseball talent. On the other, the Underdogs — the scrappiest fighters that the game has to offer. One final match will decide the outright winners… will you be the one to coach your side to a tremendous victory? This is Blaseball: The Card Game. Rejoice (again). Play Ball.”

Blaseball: The Card Game can apparently be played without any knowledge of Blaseball. While there is little information at present about the mechanics, Blaseball: The Card Game is described as a “two-player, head-to-head competitive card game in which you will be playing as a Blaseball team each, playing out the top and bottom of the ninth inning.” The Game Band also points out that Blaseball: The Card Game is “not a trading card game and we won’t be selling any kind of randomized packs.”
When it comes to Blaseball, the board game is a “completely separate card game with very different rules and won’t have any mechanical interaction with the website. Blaseball: The Card Game takes place in a separate, splintered timeline where some things are the same and some things are different.”
Blaseball: The Card Game will be the product of a partnership between The Game Band and Wayfinder Games.
