I grew up playing Cribbage and Pinochle . Every cousin knew both games too.

We play here in NH.

I play cribbage and love the game have played since 1971. While in the Navy serving on two destroyers in SE Asia. Learned how to count cards/points really fast.
Anyway, I love the game and I believe it's a great game to teach kids fundamental math skills too.

Played criibage in a bar league in the UP back in the 70s. Played it with a sick old timer a few years ago before he passed. He could still count em quick.

I also grew up playing cribbage and pinochle. My German grandparents and my mom and Dad would stay up late night on weekends playing cribbage and speaking in German. Drinking beer and pizza with anchovies was always on the menu too.

Cribbage and ice shacks common components in MN.

I spent a lot of time in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. We played dominoes.

Never played it or even seen it being played. I don't think I even know anyone that's played it.

Some older neighbors of ours tried teaching me, we had to switch to Hearts, they said I wasn’t smart enough. I couldn’t argue that.

Dad was retired Navy, I learned cribbage at a very young age. Wife and I play a game about every night in the winter.

In our small town we used to have a pool hall that had 6 or eight domino tables. Those tables had a black square like a small black board on your right hand corner to mark your score with chalk.. An X was 10 points and / was five , fifty points in a row and the game was 200. These were usually partner games, two men on a team. I've seen a lot of money change hands on those games. On a rainy day a lot of the farmers came to town and those domino tables would be full with guys waiting to play. My cousin from Michigan was visiting and took him there on a rainy day. He couldn't believe what he saw, talked about it years afterwards. LOL.

Have wanted to learn how to help lay for years

Yahtzee is our game

Card games including Cribbage was a mainstay for family weekend visits.
Pre TV days.
I think I was 7/8 before the first TV came into are home on the farm.
One of my uncles had a TV.
We would visit every Saturday afternoon and Play Cribbage , eat popcorn and watch one of the two channels available until off air.
I have never had a 29 hand, easily 60 yrs now and play as much as possible.
Pegging is the real skill. 2 man and 4 man games are totally different strategies.
Actually had a Board in my hand this morning at the local thrift store.

Started playing crib with my dad when I was about 5 I guess. But at family gatherings the game was always Bridge. I stuck with that and find it far superior to any other game. Hard to find four people that can play though.
Haven't played crib in decades. Good game though

Made this from a shed found vacationing. Brass pegs store in covered hole in antler end. Saw one like it as a kid.

I can't believe none of you all ever play pitch. That's what we play here, or pinochle in the olden days, but no one knows how to play it now. I do play it on my phone occasionally though.

Nevah heard of Pitch.

But a great card game that is local to Northern Mass ...and Southern NH .....is the game called “ 45’s “ .

Hard to learn....but very rewarding

It was a popular thing in the hunting camps here back in the day.
