Cricket Champions
Bat, bowl and roll your way to the trophy.
- 2–5 players
- 30–60 minutes
- Light strategy
Bring the whole match to your table. Every round, you'll bat an over and bowl an over, rolling six chunky dice up to three times and deciding what to keep and what to risk. Chase fours and sixes, hunt wickets, and spend your XP on cards that power up your team for the rest of the game. Then race your rivals for the Orange Cap, the Purple Cap, a hat-trick or the first six, because every championship point counts. Play it safe and you'll survive; play it bold and you might just lift the trophy. Five rounds, one champion, and a rematch before anyone's left the table.

How to play
How to play
- Set the order. Deal the player order cards and place your team tokens on the stadium.
- Play your overs. Every player bats one over and bowls one over each round. The batsman rolls first, then the bowler, and the dice are resolved together.
- Buy XP cards. After the overs, spend XP tokens on cards whose powers last for the rest of the game.
- Win the championship. After five rounds, the player with the most championship points wins.
Rules worth knowing
Rules worth knowing
- Three rolls per turn. Keep the dice you like and reroll the rest, even ones you set aside earlier.
- Fours come in pairs, sixes in threes. A pair of 4s scores 4 runs; three 6s score 6.
- Championship cards go to the first player to meet their condition. The Orange and Purple Caps are awarded at the end.
- Lose 10 wickets and you're out of the game.
- Four ways to score: 1 point per run, 1 per wicket taken, championship cards, and 1 per 3 unused XP tokens.
