The Great Cribbage Challenge of 2014

It’s on!  Our 3rd annual winter-long challenge has started.  Year 1 was backgammon, year 2 Boggle, and now in year 3, cribbage.

I played cribbage when I was kid, but I remember nothing about it except it had a board with pegs.

Despite many sites on line claiming it’s the easiest of games to learn and that a game can be played in 15 minutes, it took Debbie and I an hour to play a practice game. If you know anything about cribbage, you can realize by the peg placement in the picture we had little idea what we were doing.

And at the end, neither of us was sure what had happened.  It went like this:

Chuck: “My peg’s at the end.  Did I win?”

Debbie: “I don’t know.  I guess you did.”

Chuck: “Or do we finish this hand?”

Debbie: “I don’t know.”

It might be a long winter…
