5. Play the Mobile Phone Number Cricket Game...


How to play

You (player 1) pick at random 6 mobile phone numbers from your contacts.
Make a note of the last 6 digits of the phone number of each of the 6 contacts.
Nb only use the last 6 digits in order not to reveal the full phone number.
You then contact another Llama or anyone you know and ask them (player 2) to also pick at random 6 mobile phone numbers from their contacts and ask them to make a note of the last 6 digits of their phone numbers. You (player 1) send your numbers to player 2 and they send you their numbers.

Scoring
The numbers 1,2,3,4 and 6 are all scoring numbers .....as in a game of cricket.
Numbers 5,7,8 and 9 are all non scoring numbers ....dot balls
The number 0 (zero) is a wicket and each time a zero appears the score is reduced by 5.

Example (each last 6 digits count as 1 over in this 6 over game)
