Strat-O-Matic

[Patrick425]

I used to play this game as a kid. Only had 3 or 4 teams (Milwaukee, Oakland, SF, & NYY -from 1974?). Anyways, about a year ago my mom got my son the game (board game, c'mon - what fun is it to play this game on the PC?) for Christmas (2005 season), then she got him the 2006 season for his birthday. I was shocked to see that included all the teams. I think the price was something like $50.

 

Now, he wants to get the 2007 season. On Amazon.com it has Strat-O-Matic 2007, but does not give a very detailed description. Does anyone know if this would be the 2007 season stats? I'm assuming that it's not and that the 2008 Strat-O-Matic would have the 2007 stats. Again, I'm talking about the board game version. If it's not out yet, does anyone know when it comes out?

 

Also, I do not understand strat-o-matic.com at all. They have a store, but it's completely confusing. They sell pieces for the board game (dice, fielding chart, etc.), but finding the card sets are hard (and they seem really expensive compared to what you can buy at amazon). It will state something like 1988 rosters. Then you click on it and it's for the computer. They need to redesign the sight and seperate computer products from board game products.

I was always an APBA guy myself.

www.strat-o-matic.com should help you

 

I have been an APBA man for many years, but used to dabble in the Strat as well. I believe that Strat has card sets available in late December/early January for the previous year.

 

While I can understand wanting to relive the fun of dice and cards of one's youth, I've found the PC versions to be terrific at giving instant play results, stat compiling, etc.

 

Enjoy!
