HOW TO PLAY

1. 1

   Select Your Teams

   Choose 5 MLB teams for your card — one per row. These are the teams whose final scores will determine your result.

2. 2

   The Grid

   Each row has 10 columns labeled 0–9, representing the ones digit of runs scored. Your card is filled with point values that shuffle when the board is generated.

3. 3

   The Ones Digit Rule

   Only the ones digit of a team's final score matters. So a score of 10 = 0, a score of 13 = 3, and so on.

4. 4

   Row Values

   Row 1 (100-1000), Row 2 (50-95 in 5s), Row 3 (40s), Row 4 (20s). Values are shuffled per player, so no two boards are the same.

5. 5

   The Multiplier Row

   Row 5 is the multiplier row, filled with the tokens 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5 — shuffled across the 10 columns. The team you put in slot 5 determines which multiplier you land on.

6. 6

   Scoring

   For each of your 5 teams, find the cell at the column matching that team's ones digit. Add the values from rows 1–4, then multiply that sum by the row 5 multiplier to get your final score.

7. 7

   One Shuffle

   Before submitting, you may shuffle any single row once — either a team's point row or the multiplier row. Use it wisely!

8. 8

   Postponed Games

   If a game is postponed, that team's ones digit is treated as 0 for scoring purposes.
