Any Cribbage players here?

[Bugman]

I love Cribbage, but mention it to the average Texan and you will likely be met with a blank stare or look of confusion. Here, Dominoes games like Moon and 42 rule. I learned the game in the early 1980's while living in Houston. I knew two guys from Pennsylvania, Joe and Skinner, and a guy from Michigan, Mitch, who rented a three bedroom house on the northwest side. Later Earl, also from Pennsylvania joined the cast of characters. It must have been Christmas Day 1985. Everyone else had gone home for the holidays, and Earl and I sat around that day drinking Wild Turkey 101 and playing Cribbage. I was on fire and cleaned him out. The next day I bought the biggest bottle of Wild Turkey I could find and he won most of his money back, which was fine. I didn't care, we were friends. It's been years since I've found anyone who knows what the game is, and I miss it.

Not played in years, my grandad (god rest his soul) used to have a crib board with the pegs.

Another game I used to play years ago was Kalooki (spelling!) with 2 packs of cards.

Think it known as something else over there.

Guys over here go to the pub, or watch the game, no time for old school card games any more.

I actually like Pinochle

It's a fun game, for sure. I like to play it on Pogo, since the computer shuffles and keeps score. 🙂

Bugman, did you ever get a perfect hand?

Its a fun game. I'm not sure what the other game you mention is called.

I've played a few hands of Pinochle, but not enough to really understand what I'm doing.

Not that I recall. Had more than my share of 19 hands though. 😉

Never played online. I don't know, online games just don't intrest me. To each their own. 🙂
