Another eCribbage lover...


From KenWorster.com:

"Recently, I found the site ecribbage.com. A guy by the name of Damien Blond has written a Java client to play cribbage with other folks over the internet. You can also play King’s Cribbage, which is a cross between cribbage and scrabble. The other people that play there are friendly, and Damien has been constantly expanding/improving the application. Jen and I have played a few times, her on her computer and me on mine. It works ok over a dialup connection, but I’m anxiously awaiting DSL (hopefully before snow) to take the pain out of this and other Internet experiences."

An alphabetic cribbage mention...

From Seismic Twitch:

"A is for your age:
For now I’m 47.


B is for your burger of choice:
I really like “President’s Choice” swiss cheese an portabella mushroom burgers. Those things blow any concept of watching fat intake right out of the water.


C is for the car that you drive:
Jeep Grand Cherokee


D is for dog’s name:
“Dead” comes to mind because she’s been dead for 22 years. However, when she was alive her name was Watson


E is for an essential item you use each day:
I guess that would be my medications.


F is for your favorite television show:
That’s easy, First 48 on A&E


G is for favorite game:
Scrabble and cribbage"

A couple of thoughts on Cribbage...


From Shauna at Down to Earth:

"A couple of thoughts...
I would not have thought that a poet would have invented a game based on math and numbers, shouldn't he have invented Scrabble?

His last name was Suckling!?!

I am not sure that I would play a game called "noddy" maybe it's bizarre name is why it no longer exists."

The whole game lasted around an hour which is probably another record for us. As ever, out came the cards to finish off, with a few rounds of Cribbage and a close-fought one of our Whist variant.

Lost Cities - First game with my wife
By jeblucas
We once tracked Cribbage games for a YEAR, so I could see this game gently rolling along to rounds 4, 5, 23, 87, 109, etc. When we have to break out the exponents we'll probably retire. Or if the kids eat it--whichever comes first. ...

Pretty light. Went out with the team at work for lunch, and grilled dinner with Calvin (he had burgers). Then we watched TV and I taught him how to play cribbage. Kay was out of town, so we'll have our celebration this weekend.
