Mini Howzat! Cricket Kit: The Classic Desktop Dice Game (RP Minis)

Amazing bit of nostalgia. Just like another reviewer I saw the episode where they featured Howzat on TV, I hadn't thought about the game for many a year, I told my son we always made the game from bits of pencils and lost many hours playing it. I found this game on Amazon and bought it straight away, it's well made, the pieces are nice and heavy, good quality and well packaged with a cloth and instructions. People may question the price, but in all honesty you will have hours of fun without having to change batteries. Once again a great piece of nostalgia, anyone who enjoys cricket will love it. Very happy.

HOWZAT - MARVELLOUS. I remember seeing this game many years ago and the two players were obviously enjoying their game. Then one Sunday on the excellent television programme, "THE FOOTAGE DETECTIVES", this game re-surfaced. A letter from someone who had played this game many years ago was read out by Mike Read one of the two presenters. The letter writer told of the best game he had ever played, an England Test X1 against the writers hottest women. Poor Mike could hardly keep his face straight as he read out ," Len Hutton out for a duck - bowled Marilyn Monroe" then "The girl from from the corner shop 160 not out". at which he collapsed with laughter, I joined in with him. It was priceless. A gem from the best show on T.V. I sent off for this game and I am delighted with the quality of it, I look forward to emulating that letter writer with an all ladies team of my own v the international mens all stars. If only I can find someone to play with me, everyone today has their eyes forever fixed on their cursed mobile phones. I can thoroughly recommend this product and the game thats played with it. Dogberry.

It's so nice to see something that one remembers from ones schooldays and thought was lost forever. I used to play this using pencils but when I found some money I was able to buy the proper version which came in a little tin box, no instructions or anything. This version is good, although not quite up to the standard of the original. One criticism is that there is "3" runs, which is rare in the real game, and no "0" runs which is quite common. Also there is no "Run Out" but something would have to be left out to make room. However good to see it back and all my nephews will get it for Xmas. What next - Tup'penny - Ha'penny Football?

I’ve been playing this since I was a kid absolutely brilliant make up your own teams ie movie monsters Dracula and Wolfman opening the batting against say rock legends Eric Clapton Frank Zappa etc great fun, oh by the way movie monsters won 😂

Brilliant. Cricket playing grandson left PlayStation to take part. I seem to remember from 60 Yeats ago the dice were a bit heavier but ….

This is very similar to the original owzthat game in that it has no counters .. it’s extremely simple to play and it’s a nice size to take along to places. The brass dice are well made and pretty heavy so the manufacturer thoughtfully thought to include a thick piece of fleece so that they don’t damage the surface your throwing them on. Very happy with this game

Great game, a find memory for my husband that he’s now sharing with the kids and family. Easy to play, doesn’t need much space and can get competitive!

Really a genuine copy of the original. Because of its weight it has to be rolled on a rough surface like a carpet but a green square of material is provided. My brother used it a lot as a youngster and devised cricket teams which played against each other.

Tengo un amigo que es minimalista y no se le puede regalar nada. Pero tengo suerte que le gusta el críquet y esto es tan pequeño que no le importó y le gustó mucho. Divertido 5/5 Minimalista 5/5

Bought it as a gift for secret Santa for someone who plays cricket. It’s a fun game to play.
