Cribbage

Yeah, it all checks out.

Uh, I like to play a card game called Crib, Cribbage.

With the little peg, with the little pegs.

With the little pegs.

We had a-

Do you play?

We had a Cribbage set as a child.

No one knew how to play it, so it just remained there unplayed.

Who are games...

Well, I think I referenced Cribbage.

Uh, yeah.

Uh, that's a, it's a, it's a good game.

Uh, the winner gets to choose where we go for dinner.

Doesn't take forever.

You know, it just occurred to me why I've always been turned off by Cribbage.

This is weird the way my brain works sometimes.

I've been playing a card game since I was a little kid.

The game is called Cribbage.

Cribbage is one of the few ancient card games where they actually know the name of the person who invented and when, a guy named John Suckling in the UK in, I believe, 1590-something.

Someone will Wikipedia that and correct me.

Here's a picture I took myself.

My parents play.

In fact, I play with my siblings all the time on an online app.

And what I love about Cribbage, and this is not a story about Cribbage per se, trust me, it's about data.

So my favorite games were like the simpler ones that we could play where it was a little bit of an even playing field, like Sorry.

We definitely played Cribbage.

Boggle was a big deal.

I remember growing up.

We always bring a deck of cards.

Um, and the other thing, we both used to really know how to play Cribbage.

It's the one, it actually requires a board too.

Yeah, Scott told me how to play.

I don't know how to play it anymore, but Scott told me how to play, and I c- it was so confusing, but-

Yeah, I know, but once, if you play it often, it actually isn't, 'cause we used to play it all the time.

So now I'm, like, on the hunt for, like, a small Cribbage thing, like, that we take with us, because I just find that, like, that's the spot where we do stuff like that.

And oh, by the way, I load my Kindle like you've never seen a Kindle loaded before, and I used to totally be only, like, I would only take paperbacks with me, 'cause I love the smell of actual books.

What's the card game with the little pegboard? Parcheesi.

No. Cribbage.

Oh, Cribbage.

Is your dad into Cribbage? Oh, yeah.

Dad and

I

play Cribbage all the time.

That's another one I never learned the rules for.

Uh, my wife Becky's doing a PhD, and, uh, there's never [laughs] a dull moment in the Miller house.

Uh, some of them got the, uh, the gift of gab as well, and there's days where I'm like, "Is this what I was like as a kid?" It must be There's a card game that I really enjoy playing called Cribbage.

So we'll try to make this a little interactive.

Has anybody ever played Cribbage before? If so, give me some shouts in the chat or some emojis.

I'm gonna look over at Zoom.

All right, there we go.

Cribbage, you know, Cribbage has been around...

It's one of the few card games that you can...
