I have a vague idea that it's about cards. Recently, I learned that the pegs are not part of the game, but just for keeping score.

How many people do you need to play a game? 2? 4?

2, 3 or 4 players. (4 players would form 2 teams.)

...is a delightful game for young and old!

I heart cribbage. If you were back in Seattle, we'd be playing right now. JMC though? Didn't like it one bit.

Anyone? I just learned cribbage and it's really a great game. And it can be played for money!!!!

Or how about poker? We'll keep it cheep cheep.

Cribbage/Poker Night has definite potential.

Good times! I'm down for cribbage! I haven't played for 7+ years (it's not too easy to find a game), so I'll have to knock off a little rust!

What about dominos?!

I've played a ton of cribbage, and would be up for playing sometime.

Perhaps we can combine this with the Settlers of Catan and have a Dailyheights game night?

i'd love to learn how to play and beat the pants off the young and the old. and maybe the sick too.

We've been playing Mexican Train Dominoes until we've grown tired of it, but yeah, I'm always up for a game or any other domino games. Cribbage is the new game for now. PM me and we can set something up.

Cribbage and Mexican Train Dominoes are two of our favorite games! My husband taught me both. We haven't played in a little while, but both are an excellent way to kill an evening.

Cribbage is not that hard to learn--MUCH easier than bridge, in my opinion (which I remain thoroughly mystified by, to be honest.)

Much, much easier. Every time my husband tries to explain bridge to me my ears start to bleed. But I love cribbage. It has the advantage of being the one of the few card games I can regularly kick his ass at.

Never played it with more than 2 people, though, and I'd like to learn.

Oh yeah, and I've been playing canasta since I was a wee lass at my grandpa's knee. Now there's a gomer's game. But I love it!

I always thought you had to be a Jewish ex-NYer retiree living in Florida to play canasta. Was I wrong? I thought it was part of the rules!

Is mah jong next?
