ibibo.com firms gaming portfolio with ‘CriCardo’

While Team India faces a tough time Down Under, cricket fans will have something to cheer about at least in the virtual world. India’s largest gaming network, ibibo.com, has launched a new online game ‘CriCardo’. It is a multiplayer cricket card game, which combines the thrill of cricket and fun of card games.

The game can be played live amongst six players, where one round is counted as an over and each match can be played in 3, 6 and 10 overs. Gamers can play a live match with online users and make maximum runs to win it. A match proceeds in various rounds. The user who drops highest card in a round wins the round. One can also choose the type of match one wants to play between T3 Match (three-over game), Super Sixes (six-over game) and T10 match (10-over game).

Anytime in the game players can see the priority of cards. So, the higher the card, greater are his chances of winning. On a round over, the player with highest card wins the round.

Commenting on the new offering, Rahul Razdan, President - Products & Operations, ibibo Web Pvt Ltd, said, “‘CriCardo’ is our unique and innovative response to two of the biggest game categories that Indians play – cricket and card games. The game play of ‘CriCardo’ is extremely addictive and we expect it to become a rage amongst online gamers. With the launch of ‘CriCardo’, we are happy to further establish our leadership position in the multiplayer gaming category. We are the only game provider with multiplayer games simultaneously available across PC and mobile platforms.”

‘CriCardo’ has been simultaneously launched across three platforms – the ibibo.com website, Android mobile phones and Google Chrome Web store. The game is completely free to play both on the PC and mobile platforms. In the past, ibibo has introduced India’s biggest online games, ‘TeenPatti’, and ‘Mumbai Underworld’ on the Android mobile platform.
