ABSTRACT:
An improved cribbage game apparatus includes a cribbage score board having a single scoring path for each player in order to obviate the need to repeat the counting or scoring lap and thus reducing confusion as to the laps completed. The board is larger than standard and the opponents' pegging or scoring paths are widely separated for further ease of use. The board folds for ease of storage, and includes separate storage space therein for each of the scoring pegs and at least one deck of cards when folded. The pegs are symmetrical to provide for ease of manipulation, and are differentiated by color and/or shape for each player for further ease of use. The board and pegs may be formed with differently shaped holes and peg ends for each player, thus precluding placement of one player's peg in another player's board path. The above cribbage game apparatus provides for ease of manipulation and scoring by the elderly and/or impaired, enabling them to continue to enjoy the game and providing mental stimulation for such players playing the game of cribbage.
