Bigfoot and UFOs May be More Than Lore But 11 Card Cribbage is Out the Door!
Today, Sena “suggested” that we try make up our own version of the 11-card cribbage rumor. Recall that I picked up the idea from the American Cribbage Congress (ACC) web site that two of the many variations of cribbage are the 11 and 13 card games. I had e-mailed the ACC on Friday (two days…

When Tariffs and Cribbage Boards Collide
I’m going to take a chance and mention tariffs in this post because it figures importantly in our cribbage game pastime.

All morning long today we played the oddball cribbage variants and we are wiped out! It’ll drive me to drink! Sena is to blame for this.

A Few Thoughts on Calvinball Cribbage
OK, so Sena and I have been experimenting with a few cribbage variants in the last few days and I ran into this Calvinball comment on a Reddit cribbage thread about 10-card cribbage.

OK, is 8-Card Cribbage a Thing?
We’re still getting used to the 7-card cribbage game and guess what Sena asked me today? “Is there an 8-card cribbage?” So, I looked it up on the web and, sure enough, there was a Reddit thread a year ago with only one relevant entry. It was from someone asking if anybody else played 8-card…

We Are Muddling Through 7 Card Cribbage!
We’ve been working pretty hard today trying to teach ourselves how to play 7 card cribbage. There’s not a lot of information on the web about the game. The gist of it is that you play to 181 and each player gets 7 cards with 5 cards to the dealer’s crib. You can have 4,…

15 Minute Push in Cribbage Game Today!
Today we filmed our cribbage game with a goal of completing a game in 15 minutes. We managed to do it, although I played out of turn on the last pegging phase. Sena got skunked today, but that’s rare! You have to pay attention to the clock on the table in the video, showing we…

Cribbage Could Help Preserve Your Brain Health!
I just saw an article that working on your cognitive skills might make you less susceptible to dementia. There are some websites that help you, but I think some, like BrainHQ, could cost you money. On the other hand, there is some evidence that playing card games can help protect your brain. I think cribbage…

The Ups and Downs of Cribbage Solitaire
I made this YouTube video of a full six deal game of cribbage solitaire—and missed a 3-card run which would have won the game! What the heck, I probably made other mistakes too that others will notice. The rules: Cribbage solitaire has six hands and six cribs and you peg your six hands. Start by…
