With only two columns of scoring pegs, how can multiple people play?

The easy way would be to play teams. Cricket is usually only played between 2 people or 2 teams. Scoring gets a little nuts with more people and I have only played with more than 2 people/teams on an electronic board where it does the scoring for you.I guess you could buy 2 of them as well if you really want more people to able to play.

Only teams but I really love this board. Easy-to-use and no mess. I've had mine for a year and not any issues

Cricket is most often played with two players, or two teams; hence the two rows of XXXs. There are four groups of numbers if you are looking to tally numbers.

You are kind of limited to 2 player for cricket. The 4 sets of scoring pegs are good for games like 701, 501, etc.. It really is a beautiful board and I would highly recommend it.

Yes, you can play as few as three. Of course, the recommended number of players is probably four+.

I didn't think about this possibility until you asked. I would think splitting into two groups and somehow taking the winners against the other winners would be a fine contest. I really think it would be easier playing with two sets than one. However, 1 tower and two sets of "thingees" would be quite hard. Good luck. Ollie

Basically place one piece at a time switching player to player. The first with 5 in a row or 5 captures wins. To capture you get two pieces on opposite sides of two pieces in a line (cannot capture lines of 3+ or 1 just two).

Yes. Two players is easy. Four is the most difficult. But you can play with three.

I played last night with just two and it worked perfectly. Some of the Sheldon cards aren't really beneficial for just two players but overall it works. :)

i called the co. and they said that multi units will work. we purchased 4 pkgs. so multiple 8 year olds can play. we have yet to try them out as a group.

You can play this game with a minimum of 2 players; the game recommends between 2-4, but I've played it with many more than that. It's also fun to play in teams of two if you have a lot of players.

You can play with 4, for sure. When I played with 3 people, each person threw down 2 response cards to keep it interesting and funny.

You can play with two players, but it is much more fun with 3 or more. We never play with 2 players. Best with 4 in my opinion.

Can play with two, three or four. You just skip the spaces in front of the unplayed sides.

Two three or four can play. You can play as teams. Do I dare say "sets"?! :-).

The instructions are for individuals but you can play as teams as well. There are 8 game pieces so 2-8 individual or 2-8 teams. My family plays as boys vs girls which is very fun and competitive.

Yes you can, and it even works with 4 players as well depending on how you set it up.

Yes you can. In order to play with 3 players, simply pick the side that will not be used, do not put any stones in those pits and when players are making they're rounds they skip over this side and do not drop any stones in these pits. You can play Two players on with this set as well as just by skipping over two sides instead of just the one.Hope this helps!

It can be done, but I would recommend with at least one more person. Part of this is because there is swapping of cards involved, and its just more fun with at least a third person instead of just swapping cards back and forth with each other. This is really enjoyed best as a group game.

Yes you can play it with two. The rules are a little bit different, but still fun.
