Our National Ball Game is a foldable game board with two dice, eight counters, and instructions on how to play this board game version of baseball. Printed on the board is a colored sketch of two teams playing baseball in a stadium and an advertisement that the game is "a delightful entertainment for Old & Young." Two teams take turns rolling the dice, and the numbers on the dice correspond with various baseball plays. Like the game of baseball, after nine rounds, the team with the most runs wins the game.
