Saddest game in the world ever ever ever

So, who remembers Owzthat?

For the uninitiated, it's cricket made interesting and manageable. You get two hexagonal dice, one for the batsman and one for the bowler. The batsman's has the scores 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and "owzthat". The batsman rolls this and notches up his scores until "owzthat" comes up, whereupon the bowler rolls his to establish whether or not the batsman is out, and if so, how. It can be scored on a proper cricket scorecard.

I had fond memories of this until a lunchtime conversation today ruined it forever.

"So," said a Kiwi colleague, frowning to understand, "it's role playing ... for cricket?"

Oh. My. Gawd.
