What About Wicked Cribbage?
We’ve played Wicked Cribbage twice so far—and yes, Sena won both games, but here’s the thing: it’s fun to play. I think this is called a cribbage overlay in that you need to know how to play standard cribbage and already have the equipment for that. Then Wicked Cribbage adds special cards with wonky and…
