Players: 2+ | Time: 20-45 Mins | Ages: 8+ | Complexity: Light
Overs is a fun and fast-paced card game where two players face off to see who can outwit their opponent and score the most runs to win. Take turns to play as the batter, choose your attitude, and attempt to play the right shot against each of your opponent's deliveries. Be careful, as playing the wrong shot might result in the loss of a wicket, and just like in real life losing too many wickets will result in an early end to your innings!
As well as being highly portable, Overs caters for a variety of situations. Choose to play a quick game in just 20 minutes, or play a standard game which takes about 45 minutes. You can even play two games back to back and add the scores together if you'd like to emulate a test match!
If you are a larger group of friends you'll be pleased to know you can play Overs in two teams, with everyone taking turns to bat and to bowl. Alternatively, if you have multiple copies of the game why not organise a local league or a tournament!

Included in the game are seven cards that allow you to easily track runs scored, wickets lost and overs completed. However, if you'd prefer to use a different approach we have you covered.

Sleeving cards is a great way to protect them from regular wear and tear, ensuring your game lasts the test of time. As well as fitting in your pocket, the Overs box has been designed to fit the cards when sleeved. Simply remove and recycle the insert and place the sleeved cards in two stacks side by side.
I recommend Mayday Games Card Game Premium Sleeves, but any card sleeves designed for cards size 63mm x 88mm will fit.

I believe that artwork plays a huge part in games, helping to immerse players in the theme. So having admired his work on other games I jumped at the chance to hire Rob Ingle for Overs. Rob is a UK based illustrator and graphic designer. I'm absolutely thrilled with the work that Rob's done, truly elevating Overs into a stunning and colourful card game.
