Road to Crown: Baseball Draft

Build a roster from a deck of cards, then find out what you drafted.

Eleven seats. Five offers a round. Every player hides his rating — all you get is the line he actually put up, the club he played for, and the year. Read the numbers, back your judgement, and live with it.

THE DRAFT Sign one of five, eleven times over. Chase a slugger, stack a rotation, or spread your bets. The cards you refuse are gone.

SYNERGY Fill a lineup with one nation, one club, one season or one playing style and the bonuses compound. Overcommit and a single weakness sinks the run.

THE CHASE Regular season, Interleague Cup, Pennant, Final Series. Take all three and you have the Triple Crown. Take everything and it is a Grand Slam.

CAREER Five seasons on one job. Your board's trust is a health bar — win and it climbs, stumble and you are out. Work up the ladder from a bottom club to a contender.

THE ALBUM Every player you sign sticks to a page. Fill a league, fill a season, fill the book.

THREE LEAGUES The United States, Korea and Japan, each with its own shape: the run environments differ, the positions are scarce in different places, and a lineup that wins in one will not in another.

SEASONS PAST Start a career in another decade and draft from the talent that was actually around.

— Every player in this game is fictional. Names and records are generated from the statistical shape of real leagues; any resemblance to a real player is unintended. No league, club or player marks are used.
