Editorial Review

Cribbage still reigns as one of the English-speaking world's most popular card games. (And we owe it all to one of the 17th century's unsung heroes, Sir John Suckling, English knight, poet, playwright, and inventor of "cribbidge.") This simple, handsome set gives you everything you need to play the classic game, including instructions, a standard deck of high-quality Bicycle cards, and a 15-inch-long, solid-wood board with continuous scoring lanes painted on it. The game's scoring pegs are stored in a slide-out compartment beneath the board. --Paul Hughes

4.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality; functional for those just learning cribbage, February 8, 2003

This cribbage set is little more than functional. The playing cards included in the set are the thinnest, worst quality cards I've ever seen. The playing instructions are very short and incomplete. If you are just learing how to play cribbage, you might wnat to also purchase a book like "Bicycle Official Rules of Card Games" to provide you with a complete set of rules. The board is cheaply made, but is functional. I guess this is a good starter set if you've never played the game and want to see if you like it before you invest in a better-made set.

This review is from: Deluxe Cribbage Set (Toy)

Cribbage is a classic game of strategy and mathematics, great for all ages. However, this is just a basic board. Its only advantages are the price and that it has three tracks so you can play with three people instead of just two or four. It is pretty cheaply made, with plastic pegs and painted-on tracks. There are much more beautiful boards out there, many with additional scoring features if you really get into playing Cribbage. You can even make your own board, and any deck of cards will work. Bottom line: okay starter board for beginners.

This review is from: Deluxe Cribbage Set (Toy)

This article arrived with a cracked board, poor paint job and cards that the advertising says are made by "Bicycle" but are made by a Chinese company called "Cardinal". The whole product is poorly made with craftmanship lacking. The metal container had raised edges where joined that scratched my wife's hand when she was removing the board from it. Upon inspection I would not buy this product again.
