Pavilion Cricket – board game
Pavilion Cricket is a labour of love which, like so many cricket board games, seems to have sunk without a trace. A real shame for such a promising premise.
Balyna Discbat Cricket
A variation of the classic cricket game. Small plastic fielders, a mechanism to allow batting, one to allow bowling, a ball and a field made up of different run areas. It doesn’t get much simpler.
He’s Out: The New Test Match Game
He’s Out! from 1928 is one of the few early cricket games endorsed by a famous player. In this case it’s England Captain W.R. Hammond. Or Wally, to his mates.
Stumpz from Thos. de la Rue & Co. Ltd.
Stumpz is one of the real classics amongst cricket board games. Created by an unknown designer working for the De La Rue Company, the game appears to have first been released in the late 1920s or early 1930s.
