Editorial Review

Welcome to Kings Cribbage, an unusually effective blending of the age- old pasteboards-and-pegboard card game, with the crossword grid strategy of Scrabble. Players take turns building crib hands of two to five hardwood tiles, each bearing playing card rank--deuce through ace. As in Scrabble, players are allowed to add tiles from their rack to the ends of, or perpendicular to, existing plays on the rotating board. The scoring is virtually identical to cribbage--runs, pairs, 15s--with bonus points awarded to any player who can fashion a crib hand with tiles all the same color. With its deluxe, two-toned hardwood equipment (though the board is fashioned from less-than-regal plastic) and illustrated English/French rules, Kings Cribbage is a crowning achievement in challenging play. --Tony Mason

I have played this game with adults and my 10 and 11 year old granddaughters. All I have played with have totally enjoyed this game. I am thrilled to see if offered in the U.S. as was told it was only available in Canada.
If you like cribbage this game is a MUST

I purchased this game for my mother for Christmas. My family has played a lot of cribbage and scrabble through the years. We loved this game and all three generations played together (ages 12-66). It is a well-made, durable, easy to learn (provided you know the basics of cribbage scoring), interesting game. It moves a little faster than scrabble and is not quite as much brain strain. A great game, fun for all, one we will not get tired of playing.

I just ordered this game but have played it often. My sister has one and we always play when we are together. Now I will have my own. If you love cribbage, you'll love this.
