Mashup of 7 Card Cribbage and Cribbage Wars with 46 Point Hand for Sena!
I just had to get this post out this morning after a 3-hour game of Crib Wars playing 7-card cribbage because Sena won with the highest hand point total of 46! Some say this is analogous to getting a 29 hand in 6-card cribbage. See below for details on the rules, about which opinions differ…

Sena Wins Our First Crib Wars Game Today!
Hey, we played our first Crib Wars game today and, wouldn’t you know it, Sena won! We played six card cribbage. We ignored Muggers Alley. I spent a fair amount of time in two of the Blue Time Traps. She got caught in a couple of cycles around the last Blue Time Trap, but scored…

Crib Wars and Wicked Cribbage: Calvinball Cribbage Alley!
We just got two new cribbage games: Crib Wars and Wicked Cribbage. We’ve been looking over the rules for both. We haven’t played either yet. I’ll talk about Crib Wars here. Crib Wars is the most challenging to tackle, mainly because the rules and the board are open to interpretation. Crib Wars came with a…

Big Mo Pod Show: “Tribute”
I’m writing about the Big Mo Pod Show from Big Mo’s blues show that was aired on November 7, 2025. I’m a little late, but it doesn’t matter that much because Big Mo will be recorded tonight (Friday, November 14, 2025). He’ll be at the Beaker Street Live show instead. I think I might have…

This is World Kindness Day 2025!
Sena saw something on the web about World Kindness Day this morning and alerted me to it right away. World Kindness Day is an international movement which started in 1998 by the World Kindness Movement. It’s observed on November 13th annually. This made me look through my blog posts and I found a short announcement…

More BoardGameGeek and Even AI Links to Our Chicago Cribbage Game Antics
I just discovered that I owe a big thanks to a guy called EndersGame who has posted both our YouTube videos about Chicago Cribbage on BoardGameGeek. Moreover, AI gives a direct link to my blog about Chicago Zombie Cribbage—which was not a demo about it but a joke about combining Chicago Cribbage and Zombie Cribbage…

Crib Wars: The King of Calvinball Crib!
Sena asked me the other day if I had checked back on the price of a fancy Canadian cribbage board, Cribbage Rumble. I had not, so of course since that was my assignment, I looked on the Michaud Toys website and found that the high tariff price had disappeared, apparently. There were no alarming notes…

More Calvinball Cribbage Games
This just in; we found a Crib Wars game on Amazon for only $20! I’ll have a lot more to say about Crib Wars/Cribbage Wars tomorrow. We’ve been thinking about taking this game out for a spin for a while. Sena also ordered something called Wicked Cribbage. I don’t know anything about it except it’s…

Today is Our 48th Wedding Anniversary!
Today is our 48th wedding anniversary! I looked through a bunch of photos last night and probably picked all the wrong ones—but I doubt it’ll matter. It has been 48 years, so I’m unlikely to learn from mistakes now. We were married at the Little Brown Church in Nashua, Iowa. We were nervous, but got…

Svengoolie Show Movie: The Valley of Gwangi!
I watched the Svengoolie show 1969 movie, “The Valley of Grungi” on Saturday. Sorry, that’s Gwangi. That was a pretty good day for TV. I saw “Men in Black” on cable, which is rare. We also saw the Iowa Hawkeye vs Oregon Ducks football game. Too bad they lost, and by only 2 points. Anyway,…
