Sim-Cricket is a cricket board game enabling you to replay historic matches or create fantasy games. For example, replay the 2005 Ashes series or pitch a team from your youth against the current crop of players. Playing solo or as a 2-players, as the bowling side you select the bowler and their line and position fielders accordingly. Then throw dice to determine ball direction and length. As batting side, you select a shot and throw dice to determine the outcome: runs scored or no run and/or an appeal, the latter possibly resulting in a wicket. You can play the game with simple player ratings or add layers of complexity such as pitch, weather and ball conditions that change as the game progresses. Winning requires luck of the dice but you also control field positions, who bowls and shot selection - do you throw caution to the wind or slowly accumulate runs boycottesque? -description from the designer
