The owner of NorthwoodsHome.com just phoned to let me know they have had such positive feedback on the game CrossCribb they’ve made the game their featured product.
Northwoods Home is a site that has everything one could imagine to outfit a cabin up North. Items from wildlife decor and rustic signs to mailbox covers and rustic bedding.
But I’m 
most impressed with their quality selection of cribbage boards. Not the largest selection, but great quality boards with a cabin feel. They’ve got 2-track and 3-track cribbage boards as well as a travel board all made from quality wood. Some options come with a variety of wildlife animals engraved within the boards. Everything from a loon cribbage board to a moose and bear cribbage board. If you’re looking to add a cribbage board to your cabin up North… this is the site to visit.

In an attempt to see how social networking works for an independent game I decided to create a facebook page for CrossCribb. To my surprise the page generated 4 friends over night (including my mother and brother). Not sure if CrossCribb will generate as many fans as Guitar Hero (327,457 fans) or Uno (311,325 fans)… but it least it will be an area where people can congregate and discuss their CrossCribb moments.
Check it out! Become a fan!

For those just starting to play cribbage or for those teaching a new player you may find the basic scoring of cribbage to be a little confusing. When I started out my grandfather scribbled notes about the basic cribbage scoring hands on a small piece of paper. I carried this in my pocket and referenced it often… until it was barely legible… and by then I didn’t need it any more.
I’ve done my best to recreate those notes here as a “cribbage scoring aid.” You can download a PDF of this cribbage cheat sheet for your own use. I’ve also added crop marks on the cribbage scoring aid to make it easy to cut out and tape to a playing card for easy reference… and hopefully help you preserve the scoring aid for a little longer than my grandfathers scribbled notes.

I’ve been a cribbage fan for over 30 years. My grandfather, Maynard, taught me the game in the 70’s… when I was seven. He taught me the basics. How to discard, peg and count. He taught me strategy. I can still hear him saying “mind your fives, sevens, and eights.” He also taught me to be ruthless. Always offer the cut, take muggins and play to win.
He’d then invite me to play with his buddies within their retirement community. Imagine a dozen grumpy old men playing cribbage as if they were on auto-pilot. Sure, they would accept to cut, as it was cute a kid knew the oldest trick in the game. But it didn’t take long for their demeanor to change as they realized they might be beat, or even skunked, by a 7 year old. I could always see my grandfather smiling from the corner of my eye, and I was beaming inside.
Whenever I play cribbage I’m always taken back to that moment, feeling the rush of victory and the warmth of being my grandfather’s prodigy. Cribbage has been a favorite past time ever since.
Crib Notes is my effort to pass some of the joys of the game and knowledge I’ve gained on… as my grandfather did for me. Enjoy.
