Cribbage 29 Board Arrives!

Hey, we got our new cribbage 29 board today! We’d been playing cribbage for a good part of the day (both 8-card and 10-card) on the big board although the 29 board will have to get its workout tomorrow.

It’s just like the one we had before it got lost last year in the move. If you’re interested in getting one, it comes with a full set of rules, pegs and even a little history of cribbage.

I will say I’ve never heard of the word “take” used for the stage of the game in which you count your hand and crib total points. We’re used to calling this the “show.”

Cribbage 29 Board Rematch!

Today Sena and I held the Cribbage 29 board rematch and it was unparalleled in the history of the universe! We shot a video of it and posted it on YouTube. It’s about 28 minutes long and we had a blast playing the game.

The last time we played on the 29 board was a couple of years ago. We posted it to YouTube and it has over 700 views so far—and it’s still getting views. I won the first game. You’ll have to watch the video to find out who won today.

The odds of getting a 29-score hand in cribbage is 1 in 216,580. Needless to say, neither of us got one. It’s pretty much a once in a lifetime thing. When it happens, it usually gets reported to local newspapers.
