Gearing up for 10-Card Cribbage Mashup with Big Board Crib Wars
We spent over 2 hours playing the hybrid 10-card cribbage and Crib Wars on our new Crib Wars board. Sena won! I’m still a little punchy from the effort. Based on the results, we don’t think the higher scores we get will propel us through the game any faster. Part of the reason is we…

Big Board Crib Wars Video!
Date: December 12, 2025 We finally made a video of us playing Crib Wars on our new Ebonwood board! The video is almost an hour long, yet as near as I can tell from a web search, it’s the shortest YouTube video of a Crib Wars game. Except for a couple of bloopers by me,…

New Ebonwood Cribbage Wars Board Baptism!
Well, we got the new Ebonwood Cribbage Wars board last night. It was delivered shortly after 8:00 p.m. We took it for a test spin this morning and our inaugural game went for well over 2 hours. By some miracle and partly because of the sadistically placed final Blue Penalty Box just outside the winning…

Thanksgiving Day 2025 Tabloid News!
Today is the day for the 2025 Thanksgiving Day Tabloid News and you better believe this paper’s got issues. Eat turkey, watch football, take a nap from all that turkey. This post’s title was inspired by (what else?) lines from the first Men in Black movie: Agent K: [at newsstand] We’ll check the hot sheets.…

Jim Finally Wins a Cribbage Game!
The Wicked Cribbage Lugger card gave us the idea of trying a hybrid game of 10-card cribbage and Crib Wars today. I can’t contain myself; I finally won! The rules for 10-card cribbage are on the Lugger card from the Wicked Cribbage game although we’ve played it before. We finished the game in 1 hour…

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…

Sena Wins Hybrid 9 Card Cribbage and Crib Wars Today!
Here we go again! Hybrid competitions are the rule around here lately and the news flash today is that Sena won the hybrid 9 card cribbage and crib wars game today, which took an hour and a half to play. Just as an aside, I used the word “hybrid” because yesterday I just found out…

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…
