Great news.  We’ve formed a partnership with eCribbage.com where CrossCribb will now be available to play online at eCribbage.com and CrossCribb.com.  Production of the online version of CrossCribb is underway and we expect it to be live by mid-summer (around August 1st).

eCribbage.com and Maynard’s, LLC form Partnership to Bring CrossCribb® Board Game Online


eCribbage.com, a fast growing online cribbage community catered towards revitalizing cribbage is bringing Maynard’s highly touted CrossCribb® game online.

Bethlehem, PA (PRWEB) May 16, 2010 — CrossCribb® is a strategy board game that takes a traditional favorite, cribbage, and modifies the play to accommodate a unique twist of offensive and defensive competition. CrossCribb uses conventional cribbage scoring rules as you try to build five high scoring cribbage hands while simultaneously sabotaging your opponents’ hands. It’s an easy game to learn, but difficult to master.

“I am very excited to bring this innovative cribbage game to eCribbage.com,” says Damien Blond the founder of eCribbage. “Players have been asking for CrossCribb for some time now, and they are thrilled to be getting their beloved 5 by 5 cribbage game at their favorite cribbage site. Adding CrossCribb to eCribbage.com further distinguishes eCribbage as a haven for cribbage enthusiasts.”

eCribbage has recently surpassed 18,000 registered players and now hosts up to four tournaments a day covering its wide variety of cribbage games. CrossCribb will be added to the eCribbage tournament line-up to create an even more diverse tournament atmosphere. CrossCribb will also join the eCribbage Leagues further enhancing the new league play. The online version of CrossCribb® will be accessible through both eCribbage.com and crosscribb.com.

“The community of cribbage fans Damien Blond has been able to bring together with eCribbage.com is truly amazing. I’m excited about the opportunity to introduce CrossCribb to this community and provide an online version of CrossCribb for existing CrossCribb players. Also, after receiving numerous requests for a venue to play CrossCribb tournaments over the past fourteen years, I’m happy to announce that we will finally have one soon, at eCribbage.com,” says Tony Nelson, Creator of CrossCribb and Owner of Maynard’s, LLC.

Become a fan of CrossCribb on Facebook.

November 20, 2008

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!
