my winning handLast night my friend Jeremy from work came over and helped me out with the first achievement of my
by being my most recent Cribbage victim.
...and I quote "#18- Play Cards"
I'm a big fan of Crib, my Grandmother and I use to play every Easter- obviously being the one who taught me, she taught me well. I'm very lucky at Crib and think I should quit my day job and play it professionally... but I'm too young for that right now. I am the Bobby Fisher of Crib- does that make me a geek or just braggy? tee hee.. of course, I'm just exaggerating... I enjoy Crib and my mind thrives on the simple math and problem solving. For me, there is often no easier rush then getting a hand that spills out 16, 20, 29... I'm easily amused what can I say!

However put me down in front of a hand of Gin Rummy and I loose like my life depends on it.
What's your lucky card game?

WOHO!
hah, how cool. My Dad taught us all Crib when we were little.. we often sat around on weekend-end-nights playing crip together, or with our Nan. I haven't played since I was little.... : s
I remember playing with broken matches too, when the little stick thingies (pegs? um, what are they called?) were missing. hehe.
That's a good idea, we usually pull out the toothpicks if there are any pegs missing. It's a fun game, great way to spend a night with the family!
