Baseball Highlights: 2045 is a deck-building game that focuses on the highlights of early 21st-century baseball games. In this quick and interactive game, two players build their teams as they play, combining both strategy and tactics without any downtime. Players will be competing in a best of seven series of mini-games. 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? After each mini-game, players buy new free agents to improve their roster, and the team that wins the most mini-games in the series is the champ!
