"It's a game where a skunk or a double skunk will earn you points, where "pegs" are key and "29" is king.
And it's a game where you can make friends.
In this Wandering Wisconsin report, we spend some time with the Chippewa Valley Cribbage Club.
Every Wednesday night cribbage competitors come to get in on a deal.
"We'll be playing 9 games all together."
"I have 2,4, and 3... that's 7."
"You go one game and you move so you don't play the same person all the time."
Cal Carter says, "best 2 handed game you can find. Can't play poker two handed."
In amongst the sea of cards, cribbage boards and cans, is the creator of the club.
"We just have a grand old time," says Terry Pederson. He picked the game up more than 50 years ago.
Just as clearly as he sees the cards, he saw a need, so he founded this club 8 years ago.
Pederson continues, "I've always had a flair for cards. It's mathematically oriented it's based on odds you play the odds 80/20 rule, 80% of the time something should happen only you have to worry about the 20% of the time when something happens."
He says 100% of the time, they have a good time..."
