Nice. Opened the box. Lovely quality components. Very solid board, slick cards, okay scoreboard and generic plastic counters (can’t have everything I suppose). Just noticed the dice is a special one, as stated on box. This means it has no 5s and two 4s. First play was solo which to be honest isn’t what this game is about. Looks like more fun once you start the parry and thrust of head to head. Will play test more over next week or so and write full review.

A new cricket board game has been popping up in stores all over the UK. I’ve seen it in Playn Games near the British Museum and in the Middlesex CCC store at Lord’s. Haven’t got around to buying it yet, but will.

I was please to see the game’s developer has got his web site up and running, and he’s even posted some advanced and solo rules. Great stuff.

Definately looks better than the run of the mill game. From the Back of the Box it looks like it might have a similar card system to Capri Knock Out Cricket (pictured), but I’ll confirm that or otherwise once I get a copy.
