The Quest for Speed

A speedy baseball game in particular.

What Do I Mean by "Speed?"

Something in the 5 to 10 minute range. For wargames, the Dominion series really scratches that itch. I'd like to find something similar for baseball.

Why Speed?

Because:

• My time is limited
• I have the attention span of a gnat
• I like to have time to write the narrative of the game
• I'd rather finish more games and complete a campaign, or for baseball a season

My Quest

Back in 2022 I went on a baseball kick and previewed a few games. I ended up making my own. It works well enough, but I find it takes about 15 minutes to play. I'd like to knock that down by half.

Some Interesting Titles

I have begun a new quest for games. I'm looking for that hidden diamond (like Dominion) that perfectly fits my style.

Here are a couple of games I'm looking at:

• Quick Play Baseball - I gave this a look in 2022 but passed. Now I'm giving it a second look. in 2022, I felt it did not give enough narrative but I may have been too demanding then.
• Fast Inning Baseball - This is a new one.

I'll give updates as I try them.
