Description

Released in April of 2000, 2000 MLB Showdown is a collectible card game made by Wizards of the Coast. The game simulates authentic Major League Baseball play, with randomness via a 20-sided die, player cards and strategy cards.

The outcome of an at-bat largely depends on the player cards. The player whose pitcher is pitching that turn rolls a die to determine whether the batting player rolls on the pitcher's chart or the batter's chart. Each of the two charts has a list of possible results from the at-bat.

Cards from the first printing run are labeled 1st Edition, while cards from later print run are called "Unlimited" and do not have the 1st logo on the front.

Distribution

Cards were available in booster packs, starter sets and draft packs.
