About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're already enjoying the fast-paced action of Baseball Highlights: 2045 and want to spice up your games, the Rally Cap expansion is here for that! This little gem adds 15 brand-new cards to the Free Agent Deck. The cool part is that these cards introduce two neat immediate actions: one that comes into play when your team is ahead and another when they're behind. This means you can turn the game around or solidify your victory with strategic plays that react to the score. Think carefully, because these actions can change the course of the match in the blink of an eye. The expansion maintains the essence of the base game, with that deck-building and hand management feel we love, but adds an extra "Take That" flavor with the new cards. It's perfect for those who want more variety and exciting twists in their games. If you enjoy a sports game with a sci-fi twist and aren't afraid of some more aggressive plays, this expansion is for you. Get ready for more tactical decisions and "WOW!" moments on your futuristic baseball field. The complexity doesn't increase much, but the tactical depth gains some extra points, ensuring each game is unique and full of surprises. It's a worthwhile upgrade for existing fans of the game!
