Luxury Cribbage Set - Cribbage Board & Cards Cribbage Board with Luxury Playing Cards

This is a folding solid wood board with a hidden sliding compartment that stores the pegs inside the board itself, so nothing rattles loose in a drawer or bag. It comes complete with a set of Jaques linen feel playing cards and the rules, so you are not left needing to buy cards separately. Folded it measures just 19cm x 11.5cm x 3cm, which makes it a sensible choice if you want one board that also travels well.

Jaques suggests this set from around 6 to 7 years old. Cribbage itself is playable by 2 to 4 players, and the pegs are a manageable 27mm long for smaller hands to place on the board. The scoring round is simple once the rules click, and printed rules are included in the box, so a parent can teach it alongside a child rather than needing to look anything up.

You need a standard set of 52 playing cards plus the board, which is really just the scoring device. The game splits into two parts, a playing round and then a scoring round, and points are tracked by moving pegs along the board. The first player to reach 121 points wins the game. This set includes both the linen feel cards and the pegs, so everything needed to play is in the one box.

It is described as a folding solid wood cribbage board, not a printed or laminate surface. The pegs and scoring track sit on this solid construction, and when open the board measures 38cm x 11.5cm x 1.5cm. The hidden sliding compartment for the pegs is built into this solid frame rather than being a separate plastic tray, which is part of why it folds down flat to 3cm thick for storage or travel.

The set includes the folding cribbage board itself, a set of Jaques Luxury Linen Feel playing cards sized 8.5cm x 5.5cm, the scoring pegs at 27mm long, and a printed copy of the rules. Everything needed to start a game is in one box, with the pegs stored inside the board's own hidden sliding compartment rather than loose or missing. There is nothing further to buy before you can play.

Folded, the board measures 19cm x 11.5cm x 3cm, compact enough to fit in a bag, drawer, or suitcase. Open for play it extends to 38cm x 11.5cm x 1.5cm, giving a full-length track for the scoring pegs. Because the pegs store inside the board's hidden sliding compartment when folded, the whole set stays together as one compact unit rather than several loose pieces to keep track of.

Cribbage has been a popular traditional pub game worldwide for over 100 years, and its appeal has continued to grow, which makes it a game many older players already know or remember. This set folds down to a compact 19cm x 11.5cm x 3cm for easy giving or travel, and comes complete with cards, pegs, and rules, so it plays straight from the box with nothing extra to buy or set up.

Cribbage holds a particular importance for American submariners as their unofficial official pastime. The wardroom of the oldest submarine in the fleet carries Dick O'Kane's personal cribbage board on board, and when that submarine is decommissioned, the board is transferred to the next oldest boat in service, a tradition that has kept the game alive in that setting for generations.
