Inlaid Cribbage Boards
The only card game that can legally be played for money in English pubs, Cribbage requires the use of a scoring board which appears to have been in existence long before the invention of Cribbage itself and may be descended from game boards used in Ancient Egypt. Masters Traditional Games has waited a long time to source Cribbage boards of sufficient quality. We know that you can buy cheap and nasty Cribbage boards all over the place so we get ours hand-made by an experienced Marquetry craftshop. The boards are available in various surface inlays, all of which emphasise the beauty of natural wood.

You won't find the boards on this page anywhere else. What better gift for the games enthusiast who has everything - or indeed any lover of fine wooden objects?
These cribbage boards are handmade in England. Boards measure approx
27 x 9cm. As with all handmade products, tiny imperfections and variance
in colours may exist. The pegs represent a choking hazard and so this
product is not suitable for young children. December 2008: Sorry; this product is suspended for the time being as our craftsman has retired. It may be reinstated in the future if we can find a replacement craftshop who can produce boards of a commensurate quality.
