DUGOUT DICE

BASEBALL · DICE · POKER

Roll five dice. Build a poker hand. Swing for the fences.

Dugout Dice is a roguelike deckbuilder wearing a 1986 arcade cabinet. Three of a Kind is a single. Full House, a double. Straight, a triple. Four of a Kind puts it over the wall. You get nine innings, three outs, and a scoreboard target that climbs every frame — so you'd better be building something bigger than a lineup.

THE RUN

Every inning you clear pays out, and between innings the concourse shop opens:

  • Superfan Boosts — 135 crew cards that stand in the bleachers and fire on every swing. Stack them into an engine that turns a scratch single into a five-figure inning.
  • Consumables — 58 one-shot items. An extra die. A free reroll. Bases loaded out of nowhere. Pop it when the at-bat goes sideways.
  • Signings — draft free agents into your batting order from a pool of 300+ players. Stronger hitters roll better dice, and lineup-position powers reward batting the right guy in the right slot.
  • Die Mods — bolt a permanent power onto one of your five dice.
  • Suite Tickets — run-long relics: extra crew slots, shop discounts, juiced hits.
  • Card Packs — pay to open, pick from the spread.

Then the 9th inning arrives and a closer takes the mound with a rule-warping gimmick — dice frozen solid, faces turned down, home runs ruled outs. Bosses with entrance music.

A CAREER, NOT A RUN

Ten leagues, Rookie ball to the World Series. Each is a full season: ten regular games, a semifinal, and a championship, with the bar rising the whole way.

  • Rivalry games — talk trash on a scheduled opponent and they show up furious: same team, warped rules, better arm. Beat them and sign an Epic-or-better bat.
  • Sponsorships, the trade deadline, the All-Star break — the season has a calendar, and it has opinions about your roster.
  • Pennant tiers — win the ring, then run it back harder. Silver starts every inning with an out. Gold takes a consumable slot. Platinum gives you zero rerolls per at-bat. Bonuses are all you get.

ALSO IN THE BALLPARK

  • Daily Diamond — one seeded gauntlet a day, the same dice for everybody, one attempt. Logged to a calendar with win streaks and a share button.
  • Challenges — a ladder of one-off scenarios with legendary die mods on the line.
  • The Club — 60 feats to chase, unlocking alternate ballpark kits and trophy billboards painted on your outfield wall.
  • Seed codes — share a run's exact seed and see who does more with it.
  • Three save slots. A condiment race in the 7th. A streaker in the 9th you can personally tackle.
