Article Library - Article #11 Cribbage Board Game Variations In my last article, I did a partial review of the cribbage board game variations about which I have information, and this is the second of 3 segments to the listing. Board game variations have been in production for many years, but their popularity appears to be minimal at best. I guess that a good old-fashioned hand of standard cribbage suits us better than a game variation, for most of us spend a lifetime trying to improve our less than perfect skills!I do feel, however, an obligation to document all the game variations, for they play a vital role in the history of the cribbage board - at least in the philosophy behind the game. The listing tends to demonstrate that the game of cribbage has been so popular down through the years that there has been room for the variations. Or, perhaps some of the inventors hoped to copy Sir John's successful venture in adapting an old game into a new one, as he did when he re-configured Noddy into Cribbage and improved his riches! The listing continues with the following additions, and I truly hope that you will feel free to contribute any additional information that you may have on cribbage board game variations. As you can see, I am listing in alphabetical order, so information on any game before Pegosaurus alphabetically which isn't listed in my columns hasn't been brought to my attention yet. Cross Cribb
