I recently put out a Cribbage variant called Race-Crib on The Game Crafter website. It adds new dimensions of strategy and luck to classic Cribbage. It’s especially fun for two players, each driving two cars. More info at Race-Crib.com. Try it, you’ll love it!

In reply to rofl. From a rules perspective, Bridge is pretty simple! The trick is that the rules belie a ton of complexity; you have to play a lot of Bridge before you're actually playing Bridge, which is what makes it so intimidating.

In reply to anthony. I've definitely had mixed success with Cribbage, but I find the big dividing line is the teach. If I can get someone past the initial dump of all the scoring conditions, then more often than not they'll have a great time with it.

Cribbage can be a divisive game, but when it hits, it hits. I taught it to a relative a few years ago, and he took a board to college with him. Next thing I knew, he had taught his entire dorm how to play, and they were all hooked.

my favorite trick-taking game is Pfeffer, which is a specific southern Minnesota variation of Euchre, and my grandfather was a pure scoundrel when playing. always a fun time.
