Cribbage, the timeless classic stemming from the early 1600's, continues to be popular still in 2012. It is loved by both young and old. Counting the 15-2's sounds foreign to some, but to others it is like singing a rhythmic love song. It brings together familiar friends and is also a catalyst for making a new one.
If you have ever experienced this historic game, you understand how competitive it can be. I have seen friends force pals to eat dead flies, to be chased around the house and whacked with wooden paddles (or with the cribbage board itself), and even a bet made to receive a skunk tattoo on a grown man's tail-end as a result of losing a game of cribbage.
Always waiting to be dealt the elusive 29-pointer, cribbage has its players coming back for game after game.
