In the baseball cards mini-game offered by Mouse: P.I. For Hire, at first, you feel a bit powerless. Here we bring you a complete guide to the different aspects of this mini-game and its strategy.
Baseball cards: A mini-game that's a blast
The baseball card game is a fun adaptation of traditional baseball. Instead of facing off with a baseball, a bat and a glove, you play here with a deck of cards. The objective, however, remains the same: beat the batter so that he doesn't score points during home runs.
How to play baseball cards
The game always starts with you as the batter. You play five innings in this position, before switching to pitching for five more innings, totaling ten innings, each of which can earn points if you score or if you manage to prevent the opponent from scoring.
- No points for a draw: tokens are only awarded to winners.
- Only two innings: a single chance to bat, a single chance to pitch, no repeats.
- Game strategies: you need to assess how many points the opponent could score in order to counter them.

Strengthen your card deck
To win, you need to build up your card deck. This can be achieved by completing missions and finding collectible items (baseball cards), with each mission potentially featuring 2 to 3 cards to find.
Note
If you're short on cards, they can be purchased at the store after finishing a mission, although finding them for free remains preferable.
Strategy for scoring Home Runs
When you're at bat, the priority remains scoring home runs: you need to score points by hitting the ball, and get your runners around the bases to come back home.
Each card has its own characteristics and has an impact during the game:
| Card Type | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Batters | These cards represent your players. They display two numbers: batting power and speed. |
| Batting Power | A bonus that adds to your batter's batting power. |
| Speed | A bonus that adds to your batter's speed. |
| Pitchers | These cards represent your players while pitching. They also display two numbers: pitch focus and fielding. |

How to make the batter fail
As the pitcher, you obviously need to go up against the opposing batter: prioritizing pitch focus in order to make a batter fail is the priority. Use the fielding cards, they slow the batter down after a good hit.
Potential rewards
You can collect tokens that will let you unlock rewards. Note that after 20 matches won, your tokens can be exchanged for powerful items, such as the D-Mousifier, for example.
