Cribbage 29 Board Ordered!

Well, remember that Cribbage 29 board we lost in the move that I blogged about in December? They were out of stock until a few days ago. Sena ordered one and we should be getting it pretty soon. It’s a 10-inch board. The cut card printed on it is 5 spades.

So, we’ll have to have a rematch. Lately, we’ve been picking cribbage variations (but not like late last year!). We’ve been playing mostly 6-card, 7-card, and 10-card variants.

It’s funny, but the YouTube video of us playing a game on the 29 board in 2020 got a few more views (for a while) after I reposted it a couple of months ago with the post about the history of the 29 board. We had a rematch about 3 years ago and Sena won.

Neither one of us has ever been lucky enough to get a 29 hand because the odds of getting it are 1 in 216, 580. Now, the odds of getting a 28 hand are 1 in 15, 028. The only time I ever got that was in a Cribbage Pro computer game playing against Brutal last September.

We’ll have to make another video of the rematch after we get the new 29 board. Who do you got your money on?

Will Not Be Defeated!

Sena has again been winning virtually every cribbage game. We always play 3 games, best of two wins and skunk wins don’t count. I think I play pretty well. She just plays better.

It reminds me of the song “Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better).” It’s a song from the musical “Annie Get Your Gun.”

Her motto is “I will not be defeated!” I’m beginning to suspect there is extraterrestrial assistance at her elbow. If that’s the case, can a 29 hand for her be far behind?
