Description
Ball Four is a fast‑paced card showdown that feels like a backyard baseball game mixed with a daring ladder‑climb. Up to five friends can jump in, each trying to out‑match and out‑risk the others as you push your luck and chase the highest rung on the score ladder. The rules are so easy you’ll be dealing the first hand in seconds, but the blend of matching combos and daring pushes keeps the tension humming for the whole 30‑to‑60‑minute session. Designed by David McDougal and fresh off the 2026 press, this sports‑themed card game turns simple draws into dramatic swing‑and‑miss moments, rewarding bold moves and clever matches. Grab a deck, pick a side, and see who can stay in the game long enough to claim the ultimate “ball four” victory.
