How to Play
Understanding the Rules
When first learning to play Cricket, the laws of the game can seem slightly complicated. Flickit Cricket is similar, but players will soon have a grasp on the rules and understand how the game works. Here is a summary of how to play.
The captains choose their team mates and decide who bats or fields first.
Setting the Field
The fielding captain places their teammates around the board on fielding positions, making sure they are spread out as per the rules. They then position the captain playing figure on the playing board on any remaining fielding position. The fielding captain figure can be moved before every roll of the dice by the batter so the player needs to think strategically before deciding where to position the captain figure.
Meanwhile the batting captain positions his first batter and marker on the start circle. Once the field has been set and the fielding captain is ready the game can begin.
Playing the game
The batter rolls both dice and moves forward by the number shown on the dice. Depending on where the batter lands on the board they will then have an In Play Scenario to perform. Advantage scenarios to the batter include: Free Hits, Batting Power Plays and Batsman’s Flicks. Possible OUT scenarios include; Catching Chances, Run Out Chances, LBW Reviews, Bowled and Bowling Power Plays.
The batter is never immediately out when landing on a possible OUT scenario. The fielding captain must perform a flick of the dice towards a target figure (Catching Hands or Stumps) and hit the target to complete the dismissal. If the Flick is missed the batter continues batting and is Not Out. The difficulty of the Flick depends on the scenario. The batter will score one run for every square they pass on the board; the marker is used to help calculate the batter’s score.
Once all 10 batters are OUT and the number 11 batsman has performed the Batsman’s Flick scenario, a change of innings occurs. The player whose team has the highest number of runs at the end of the game wins.
