mig33, the world?s largest mobile-first community, will have its own Sachin Tendulkars and Dhonis this World Cup with migCricket. As the Cricket World Cup starts on the 19th Feb, migCricket would see live cricket action of users from across the world especially ?India and arch-rivals South Africa, which have a strong community on this virtual world!
In this Cricket game, the objective is to be the best cricket player for your team by scoring the most runs before getting out. The game is a chat-based cricket card game in which you draw different cards with different cricket outcomes. Players join the game by paying with mig33 credits. Some cards add score while others cause the player to ?get out?. If you draw a ?run? card, the runs are added to your overall score, but if you draw an ?out? card ? you could even go out for a duck!
To make the game even more interesting, there is also a 3rd Umpire card which exempts a player from going out the following time they draw an ?out? card during the game. The player who stays in the game longest, and scores the most runs, is declared the winner.
?There is heightened excitement around cricket. The community plays, exchanges cricket mementos and discusses the game in chat rooms too. Our spread to corners of India, makes it even more thrilling, with fans connecting and sharing the excitement with each other on mig33?s virtual world. The cricket mania spreading to mig33 is a testimony to the increasing influence of
mig33 in India and vice-versa. We look forward to the exciting times ahead,? said Mohit Gundecha Director of Business Development and Head of India Operations.
