cribbage - a photo on Flickriver

cribbage

            Taken for Saturday Self Challenge': "Sports and games"

The crib board here dates from the early 1900s and was originally my granddad's, and came to me via my mother. I used to play a lot of crib with my mum usually on Sunday evenings, as she did with my granddad. The white inlay on the board is possibly ivory or maybe bone.

The four upside down cards are the 'crib', two discards from the original six cards dealt to each player, that form a second hand for the non-dealing player, which adds a lot to the game's strategy.

I think the playing cards date from around 1880 and were inside a folding cribbage board that acted as a storage box that I got from a charity shop.

If you look at the ace, this is a 'frizzle ace' and shows that 3d, three pence, duty has been paid on the pack of cards. Forging these frizzle cards used to be punishable by death.

Seems I had the same idea as Don this week with cribbage, so SNAP! Don.
