REFERENCE

BOOKLET
IMMEDIATE ACTIONS
‘ Immediate Actions usually happen immediately when you play your card. Some Immediate
Actions introduced in expansions will conditionally affect play when you resolve Hits on the
same card or cards played later.
‘ Immediate Actions are conditional and will only apply if the conditions are met.
‘ When resolving Immediate Actions, if pawns are removed from either Home Plate or a base,
place them back into the general supply.
‘ Immediate Actions that produce Hits happen in Step 1 of the sequence of play before your
opponent resolves their Threatened Hits and before you place your Threatened Hits from
this card. Hits from Immediate Actions are unrelated to the Threatened Hits from the Hit Box
(unless otherwise stated in the Immediate Action) and therefore if a card with an Immediate
Action also has Hit Boxes, these Threatened Hits are placed as normal during Step 3.
‘ Immediate Actions with Free Agent (FA) Deck Checks appear in some expansions.
Whenever you are asked to make a Check from the FA Deck, reveal the top card and check
for the type of player – Natural, Robot, or Cyborg. The Check is successful if the type of
player matches the Check called for in the Immediate Action. The card used for the Check is
then returned to the bottom of the FA Deck.
‘ Cards with two Immediate Actions appear in later expansions. You may decide the order in
which to execute the Immediate Actions. Each Immediate Action stands on its own and only
depends on its own conditions for effect (with the exception of card DT-587).

 BASE GAME
Clutch: If you have a base runner on 2nd and/or 3rd base, follow the steps
below. Otherwise, the Clutch has no effect.
Advance all of your Base Runners one more base than the value of the
Clutch Hit, irrespective of their speed. Place a new Base Runner on the base
according to the Clutch Hit (1st base for a Clutch: Single, 2nd base for a
Clutch: Double). The speed of this new Base Runner is the same as the card
just played.

For example: If you have a Base Runner on 2nd and/or 3rd base and you
play Ty Terry, all of your Base Runners advance 2 bases and you then
place a Blue pawn on 1st base as a new Base Runner, all as a result of the
Immediate Action “Clutch: Single”. In Step 3, you will place your Threatened Hit listed on the
card as normal (The Home Run).

Curve: Cancels all Hits from a Robot’s Hit Boxes. Your opponent removes the Batters from
Home Plate. A Curve has no effect if your opponent played a Natural or a Cyborg.

Double Play: Remove up to 2 Slow or Average Speed Base Runners from your opponent’s
bases. Double Play does not affect your opponent’s Batters.

Fastball: Cancel all Hits from a Natural’s Hit Boxes. Your opponent removes the Batters from
Home Plate. A Fastball has no effect if your opponent played a Robot or a Cyborg.

Glove: Cancel 1 Hit from your opponent’s Hit Boxes. If your opponent has more that one Hit
Box, you may choose which Hit to remove. Your opponent removes the Batter of the cancelled hit.

Knuckleball: Reduce the value of all Hits in an opponent player’s Hit Boxes by 1. This means
a Home Run becomes a Triple, a Triple becomes a Double, a Double becomes a Single, and a
Single is cancelled.

Leadoff: If this is the first card you play in a mini-game, immediately execute
the Hit(s) listed after “Leadoff” in the Immediate Action box. Any Hit Boxes will
apply as normal when you place your Threatened Hits.

Pick Off: Remove up to the indicated number of Base Runners from your
opponent’s Stadium. You may not remove any of your opponent’s Batters.

BH2045-BasesLoaded-Reference-v5.indd 2 3/19/24 2:36 PM

 Quick Eye: Execute the Hit(s) listed after “Quick Eye” in the Immediate
Action box as normal, including advancing any Base Runners. This action
only has an effect if your opponent’s topmost card In Play is a Cyborg.

Spit Ball: Cancel all Hits from a Cyborg’s Hit Boxes. Your opponent
removes the Batters from Home Plate. The Spit Ball has no effect if the
opponent played a Robot or a Natural.

Stolen Base: Starting with your Base Runner on the highest base,
advance all Fast and Average Base Runners already on bases by 1 base
(irrespective of their speed). As normal, the next base must be open for a
Base Runner to advance, so a slow Base Runner will prevent movement
past them.

Walk: Change all Hits in opponent’s player’s Hit Boxes to Walks. To

resolve a Walk, move the Batter to 1st Base, even if there is already a
Base Runner on 1st. Then, advance the Base Runner on 1st base (if any)
to 2nd base, even if there is already a Base Runner on 2nd, and so on. A
Base Runner only advances if its base becomes occupied by another Base
Runner. If more than one “Threatened” Hit is Walked, apply them one by one.

Walk Examples
» Walk with no Base Runners on bases - advance the Batter to 1st base.
» Walk with Base Runner on First - advance the Batter to 1st base and
advance the Base Runner on 1st base to 2nd base.
» Walk with Base Runners on Second and/or Third and no Base Runner on First. Advance the
Batter to 1st base. Base Runners on the Second and/or Third do not move.
» Walk with Base Runners on all Bases - advance the Batter to 1st base, and advance
each Base Runner in turn (1st base Runner advances to 2nd base, Second Base Runner
advances to 3rd base, 3rd base Runner advances to Home Plate and scores).

MINI GAME TURN SUMMARY
‹ The active player plays a card from their hand to their IN PLAY Box.
‹ The active player resolves their Immediate Action Box, if applicable.
‹ The opponent’s threatened hits are resolved, if applicable.
‹ The active player places Batters to represent their threatened hits based on the Hit
Boxes on their card.
‹ Then this cycle is repeated by the opponent. This continues back and forth until
each player has played 6 cards.
Note: Additional threatened hits may be added by card effects. Additional threatened hits are placed at
the end of the row.
IMPORTANT: After the player who played second has played their final card, the player who played first
may still attempt a Visitor’s Save by using either their ON DECK card or the top Card of their LINEUP.
They may only apply any Defensive Actions from this card, which is discarded to the Dugout afterwards.
This ensures all threatened hits have the opportunity to be countered by a defensive play.

RUNNING THE BASES

FOR ALL BASE RUNNERS
‹ When resolving threatened hits, Batters become Base Runners and always move
based only on the Hit.
‹ Only 1 Base Runner can occupy a base (1st, 2nd, and 3rd).
‹ Base Runners cannot pass one another.
‹ Base Runners may not be able to advance their full number of bases because of a
slower runner in front of them.

HITS
‹ Hits allow the Batter and Base Runners to move around the bases in counter
clockwise order based on the Hit as well as their speed, if possible/
‹ For all Base Runners:
‘ Single Hit: Advance 1 base
‘ Double Hit: Advance 2 bases
‘ Triple Hit: Advance 3 bases
‘ Home Run Hit: Advance all the way to Home.
‹ Base Runners that reach Home score 1 Run.
‹ Base Runners Speed (only if already on base)
‘ Slow Base Runners (White): Slow Base Runners only advance the number of
bases equal to the Hit as described above. (For example: Advance 1 base for
a Single, 2 bases for a Double, 3 bases for a Triple, and all the way Home on a
Home Run.)
‘ Average Base Runners (Blue): Average Base Runners advance the number of
bases equal to the hit the same as Slow runners with one exception: An Average
Base Runner on 2nd base will advance from 2nd base to Home on a Single
(thereby scoring a run).
‘ Fast Base Runners (Red): Fast Base Runners always advance the number of
bases equal to the Hit +1. (For example: They advance 2 bases on a single, and
all the way home on a double, triple, or home run).
