Hey Marilyn, I really enjoyed this story as cribbage was may Dad's favorite game and he also made a few boards too! My guess is he started playing when he enlisted in the Coast Guard. At our camp in New Hampshire were a few final card hands nailed to wall after a sweet victory had been made. Lots of decks ended up in the fireplace after a defeat. LOL. My sister Terry loved to play with my Dad and won a few to his dismay!.
Hi Jim, I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was fun to research. I never learned the game well though I remember my aunt teaching my cousin and me one summer in VT. Blackjack was my family's card game growing up. It taught me mental math and counting cards!

My late Uncle Bob and his friend, Earl, played cribbage for hours at a time.
Hi Jane. So nice to hear from you. Thanks for commenting. I've heard that cribbage was considered "a man's game" though I know women who play it now.
I,m not a 'game' person, as I'd rather talk!
