Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A board game of baseball comprising:
 A. A game board with a baseball field drawn on it;   B. A first random generator device, wherein said first random generator device represents a baseball pitch, wherein said first random generator device has imprinted outcomes from a baseball pitch thrown by a pitcher, and wherein the first random generator device when activated generates one of the outcomes;   C. A set of several additional random generator devices, wherein each additional random generator device represents one of the outcomes generated by the first random generator device, wherein each additional random generator device has imprinted plays resulting from one of the outcomes generated by the first random generator device, and wherein each additional random generator device when activated generates one of said plays;   D. A set of supplementary random generator devices; wherein said set of supplementary random generator devices comprises at least one supplementary random generator device, and wherein each one of the supplementary random generator devices represents one situation no directly related to a baseball pitch thrown by a pitcher, wherein each one of the supplementary random generator devices has imprinted results from said one situation, and wherein each one of the supplementary random generator devices when activated generates one the results from said one situation; and,   E. A scoring system to register outcomes, plays and scores according to baseball rules;   
     wherein the board game of baseball is played at least by two players, wherein the first of the players in a first step activates the first random generator device to generate one outcome, and immediately afterwards, in a second step, activates the additional random generator device representing that one outcome to generate a play, wherein the first step and the second step are repeated until reaching three outs, then, the second of the players repeats the first step and the second step until reaching three outs, and each one of the players takes turns alternatively to do the first and second steps until nine innings are completed, and if nine innings are completed and there is a tie game, until an extra inning ends with no tie game, and wherein the supplementary random generator device may be activated by the player that is taking one of the turns. 
   
   
       2 . The board game of baseball of  claim 1 , which further comprises two tridimensional figures sets, wherein each of the two tridimensional figures sets has at least five figures, wherein the two tridimensional figures sets represent two opposing baseball teams, wherein one of the five figures on each set represents a pitcher, wherein another one of the five figures on each set corresponds to a batter taking a bat turn, and wherein the other 3 figures on each set correspond to runners on base. 
   
   
       3 . The board game of baseball of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the first random generator device representing a baseball pitch is a dice which has six faces, wherein each one of the faces has a different color, wherein each face has imprinted an outcome for a total of six outcomes, wherein the outcomes are “strike”, “hit”, “ball”, “foul”, “out”, and “bunt”;   wherein the set of additional random generator devices comprises five different colored dices, wherein each of the different colored additional random generator dices correspond to one face of the first random generator dice;   wherein the different colored additional random generator dice that correspond to the “hit” face of the first random generator dice has six faces imprinted which six plays which are “single”, “single”, “single”, “double”, “triple”, and “home run”, respectively;   wherein the different colored additional random generator dice that correspond to the “ball” face of the first random generator dice has six faces imprinted which six plays which are “ball”, “ball”, “ball”, “ball”, “ball hit batter”, and “wild pitch”, respectively;   wherein the different colored additional random generator dice that correspond to the “foul” face of the first random generator dice has six faces imprinted which six plays which are “foul”, “foul”, “foul”, “foul”, “flyball out”, and “out”, respectively;   wherein the different colored additional random generator dice that correspond to the “out” face of the first random generator dice has six faces imprinted which six plays which are “out”, “out”, “flyball out”, “pick up”, “double play”, and “triple play”, respectively;   wherein the different colored additional random generator dice that correspond to the “bunt” face of the first random generator dice has six faces imprinted which six plays which are “out”, “out”, “advance to first”, “advance to first”, “strike”, and “double play”, respectively;   wherein the supplementary random generator device set comprises at least one supplementary random generator device which is a dice colored with a color different from any other dice in the game, wherein the supplementary random generator dice represents a “stealing base” situation, wherein the “stealing base” supplementary random generator dice has six faces with six results which are “out”, “out”, “out”, “one base steal”, “one base steal”, and “two base steal”, respectively.
