![]() ![]() We hope it arrives around Christmas time. Sasquatch will be carved in a deep 3-D relief. It’ll be a hand-carved walnut board in a circular shape. This reminds me to mention the brand-new Sasquatch cribbage board we just ordered. You can see the V-shaped track on it, which is supposed to help players avoid pegging errors. We have a so-called tournament V-tournament board which marks both skunk and double skunk lines. Tournament board makers often don’t mark them-but will if you ask them to do so. Many cribbage boards will not mark where the skunk and double skunk holes are. There is such a thing as a double skunk, which is getting stuck behind the 61-hole after the opponent reaches 121. That means something if you’re playing the best out of, say, 3 games and the like. ![]() Other references say that the winner gets 2 games. I think that’s because the scoring in tournaments is done by points. The American Cribbage Congress (ACC) website says the winner gets 2 points. This led to some questions by both of us as to what exactly happens in a tournament when a player gets stuck behind the 91-hole on the peg board after the opponent reaches the winning 121 hole. Sena has a way of getting very high scoring hands and this led to her winning the first of three games in a big way. It’s not common to get skunked in cribbage-but it happened to me yesterday.
