Cribbage Group

Calling All Cribbage Fans!  We will be starting a Cribbage Group at the Library on alternating Monday afternoons at 2pm starting with Monday, February 9th and February 23rd.  Cribbage is a card game played by 2-4 people who race to score 121 points. The rules are simple to learn for beginners but the mix of strategy and luck keep it interesting even after many years of play. We have a few cribbage boards and decks of cards on hand; however we would welcome attendees to bring additional boards if convenient! Open to Cribbage players of all ages and experiences.
