Book Cricket

How it's played on the street

1. 1

   Pick a thick book. Each player bats as a side, with an agreed number of wickets.

2. 2

   For the toss, both players open the book. The higher number bats first.

3. 3

   Open the book at random, or riffle the pages with your thumb and stop.

4. 4

   Read the last digit of the left-hand page number. That is the runs scored off that ball.

5. 5

   A 0 means you are out. Many benches count 8 as a no-ball: one run and another go.

6. 6

   Bat until all your wickets fall, then the other side chases your total.

How it plays in Vilayo

Riffle the book, let go, and score runs off the page number. Like every game in Vilayo, it is built in real 3D, and the touch controls do what your hands would do on the street.

Levels are short, and each one gives up to three stars. Easy, Medium and Hard tiers bring new grounds and harder challenges, and the whole game plays offline.
