This is a two-player game with a standard 52 card deck where two players compete against each other in a simulated cricket match.
A coin flip decides who bats or bowls first and play begins by drawing six cards. The aim is to play a card that's higher than your opponents.
If the bowler's card is higher, a dot ball or a wicket happens. If the batter's card is higher, the batter scores that many runs or causes a wicket. Otherwise if tied, there is an automatic dot ball.
The innings ends after a predetermined amount of overs, or ten wickets, then the players change sides. Standard cricket scoring rules decide who wins. A standard cricket scoresheet can be used to score the game.
The card values are Ace to 4 scoring one run, 5 to 7 scoring two runs, 8 scoring three, 9 to 10 scoring a four, Jack and Queen scoring a six, and finally, a King being a wicket, no matter who plays it.
