New Baseball Board Game

Bellevue, Washington, gaming company WizKids has launched a new product that is part old-fashioned board game and part 3-D sports strategy game. It's called SportsClix, and it features miniature figurines on a plastic mat that looks like a ballpark. The game employs four levels of rules, the most advanced of which takes into account every nuance of the game and each player's strengths and weaknesses, no matter how subtle.
