Kardball for Two

Outside, it's 35 degrees and drizzly, as March in Wisconsin drags on.  Inside, there's nothing on TV except reruns of "Hoarders."  Another boring evening for you and the old ball-and-chain?

Your options: (a.) dirty martinis and DJ Desmond at the night club; (b.) an 8:00 showing of Eddie Murphy's "Thousand Words"; (c.) exchanging sensual back rubs with imported aromatherapy lotions; (d.) Kardball for Two.  Which brings us to the subject of this blog post.

All Hands on Deck

Although Kardball is a team game, it can be played in one-against-one fashion. Batting is easy: for each at-bat, the single player just draws three cards. Pitching is easy, too.  The only awkward part for the single person on defense is handling the eight fielders' cards while also trying to pitch.

Your options: (a.) hold the fielders' cards in your mouth; (b.) lay your cards face down (or face up) on the table in front of you; (c.) lean your eight cards up against the sides of eight cans of PBR; (d.) the Kardball Dummy Fielder™ (KDF). Coming soon to the Kardball Store. (Some assembly required.)
