So our new game is cribbage. I played it as a child, but don’t remember a thing, so we’re puzzling over the (inadequate and badly written) instructions that came with the board, supplemented with (crazily excessive and overwritten*) instructions on the internet.
I think we’re mostly getting the hang of it, except for the one-point-at-the-end-of-play thing. Who gets that? You get it if you can’t make 31? Or your opponent does? Any cribbage players, please chime in!
Anyway, Mark won our first night, last week; I won tonight. This is going well.**
Other things happened today too, but they are boring work-related things, so I figured you only wanted to hear about cribbage. 🙂

*Seriously. 41 pages long. 41. Pages. Long. WTF, people?
**Our other two go-to games, backgammon and a card game called Golf, are becoming boringly predictable: I always win backgammon, he always wins Golf. Coincidentally or not, I taught him backgammon, he taught me Golf. We’re thinking trying a new game neither of us really know might be the answer. So far so good.
