The game of Cribbage is played with a standard deck of 52 cards. I’ll give my overall thoughts at the end. But I’m also going to do a little bit of a tutorial with the review, so I’m going to stray from my usual format. So right off the bat, you know that this review is going to be me singing the game’s praises.
It is the only game I rate a 10 on BGG, and I intend for it to remain so. That might explain why my grandfather was such a big fan – he was a Navy man (though not on submarines), and would often tell stories of games he played while in the service.Ĭribbage is my absolute favorite game. Over the years, Cribbage has endured, and from what I hear, is the official pastime on submarines. Suckling took his inspiration for the game from the game of Noddy, a smaller game with no crib that almost no one plays anymore. Very old, in fact – the game of Cribbage was invented way back in the 17th century by English poet Sir John Suckling. Today, however, I’m going to review an older game.
Usually, when I do a review, it’s of a relatively new game.
