📖 Full rules

The classic games, side by side

✋ Hand cricket

Both players shoot out fingers at once. Different numbers mean the batter scores their own number; matching numbers mean out. Fast, loud and needs nothing at all.

📗 Book cricket

Flip a textbook open and read the last digit of the page. Even digits are runs, a zero is a wicket, and the innings ends when the last wicket falls.

🎲 Crickee

Six dice an over, one per ball. Sixes are wicket chances, players carry traits, and an event card turns up between overs.

How a Crickee match runs

  1. 1. Squads are dealt. Two elevens come out of a shared player pool, so no two teams ever share a name.
  2. 2. Spin the coin. Bat or bowl first, exactly like the real toss.
  3. 3. Roll the over. Six dice, one per ball: dots, singles, twos, fours and wicket chances.
  4. 4. Chase it down. 20 overs, 10 wickets, live run rates and a Super Over if the scores finish level.

Questions people ask

What is hand cricket?
Hand cricket is the playground game where two players throw out a number of fingers at the same time. If the numbers differ, the batter adds their own number to the score; if they match, the batter is out. Whoever makes more runs before losing their wickets wins.
What is book cricket?
Book cricket is the classroom version: you flip open a textbook and read the last digit of the right-hand page number. Even digits score those runs, a zero is out, and you keep flipping until every wicket has fallen.
How is Crickee different?
Crickee keeps the same instant, no-equipment feel but swaps fingers and page numbers for six dice an over. You still get a proper match shape: two squads, a coin toss, 20 overs, 10 wickets and a chase with live run rates.
