Description
LBW is a simple card game suitable for all ages, based on the sport of cricket. LBW can be quickly learned and enjoyed whether you are an enthusiast or even if you have no understanding of the rules of cricket. There are four roles: batsman, bowler, scorer and umpire; the players take it in turn to perform each of the roles. Two dice are included. The batsman is hoping to score as many runs as possible, either by hitting a six or by scoring based on the roll of a dice. The bowler is trying to get the batsmen out by a masterly ball on the wicket, by a cunning LBW (Leg Before Wicket), by providing a catch or having him run out (Howzat). Sometimes the umpire has to be called upon to make a decision as to whether the batsmen is out or not. The scorer’s job is to keep track of the runs scored and provide a total score at the end of the innings. LBW is both functional and educational – developing mental arithmetic as well as communication and social skills. LBW is light and compact making it suitable to play on home or on holiday. This game is manufactured in the United Kingdom.
