A robust cribbage board in the shape of twenty nine and with 3 tracks for scoring and plastic pegs to keep count of the score.
The invention of Cribbage (Crib for short) was attributed to the poet Sir John Suckling (1609 - 1642) by his biographer, John Aubrey. He was an expert at playing cards, dice and bowls as well as being a womaniser and had a notorious wit on top of his legendary poetry day-job! His most notorious feat was when he distributed large numbers of packs of marked cards to the aristocratic gentleman around England. He then followed up this preparation by going around the country playing the local gentry at Cribbage for money, managing to earn himself around £20,000 (about £4 million in today's money).
This Cribbage Board is made with a high quality of workmanship and is finished in varnish with 4 pads on the base. Size : 15" x3.75"
