Fremont Die MLB Full Count Baseball

We bought this as a gift for 8 year old nephew. He's a big fan of baseball. This game is a fun way of learning baseball strategy. You do need to understand the rules of baseball to play.There is one reason that I gave this 1 star rather than 5. It is due to the Proposition 65 warning. See the photos I attached of the back of the box especially the one focused on bottom right corner where the warnings are posted. There are 2 warnings on the box. One is a printed permanently on box. The other is a sticker on the shrink wrap. If you zoom in on photo you can read the warning about lead and/or phthalates. Either of these is absolutely terrible in a product meant for children to play with.

I ordered this game for my grandson’s Xmas present, he opened it and immediately had his grandfather up for the new challenge. They went through the complete inventory and one set of the cards was missing; what a let down for them.I returned home and ordered a new game, returned the old one and re-ordered the game. Today I opened the game and did a complete inventory, the clear disc was missing. In addition, the corners of both boxes were already coming apart and needed to be taped, something that usually happens over many uses.I’m going to try one more time, but this time I won’t return the second game, until I find out whether the third game is complete. This has been annoying, but more than that ruined the gift and game that did not happen on Christmas Day.

My son loves playing this game. Has most of the teams and he enjoys beating all of us! The only thing I am a little concerned about is how long it will hold up. Foldable boards don’t hold up like they used to and the team pieces tear up a little trying to get them on the stands. But we’ve had it for almost a year now and is still one of my son’s favorite games.

Big Hit with grandson who is turning 9. He loves baseball and has much more than just a working knowledge of the game. His perspective was that you need to know the rules and some of the terms to be successful. Grandpa played with him the first time game was out of the box, and they had a blast! The game was easy to learn, fun, and had everything that was needed.

My 8 and 11 year old boys have had a lot of fun this summer with this game! They even get their older brothers to play with them.

A bit expensive

Bought as a gift. The 7 year old loves it games can be played in 30-40 minutes and is a good game to make them think a bit. The teams are cool to play with too.

If your into these type of sports sim board games, save your money and get Strat-O-Matic. This is good for something easier to play but it takes away a lot of control and managerial fun.
