Baseball Highlights: 2045 - Bases Loaded Edition, which contains all of the previously released expansions and promo cards in addition to an all-new All-Star expansion and an additional 12 new promo cards. All this, in a new base game box with an insert to hold all of the game's content with 25 included card dividers labeled for each expansion and each of the 12 unique Starter Teams included in the game. That's correct, the Bases Loaded Edition includes 12 (instead of 4) Starter Teams - one for each unique version.


Playing Baseball Highlights: 2045 is like watching TV highlights of early 21st-century baseball games, with the game play being full of theme with no outs or innings and without bogging down in a play-by-play baseball simulation. In this quick and interactive game, two players build their teams as they play, combining both strategy (building your team) and tactics (playing the game) without any of the downtime.


During each "mini-game", each player alternates playing six cards to simulate a full game's highlights. The mini-game includes defensive and offensive actions, and your single card play may include elements of defensive and/or offensive plays. Do you try to thwart your opponent's pending hits, put up strong offensive action of your own, or use your better players to do both? Players buy new free agents after each mini-game to improve their roster, and the team who wins the most mini-games in the series is the champ!
