Armchair Cricket (1981)

About this game

From the box: "Captures all the excitement of the real game, whether Limited Overs, Test Matches, or knockabout "Beer" matches. Players take turns batting and bowling at each other, using a unique scoring system based on the specially designed playing cards."

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.9/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
