Masters Traditional Games

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 waited a long time before it found Cribbage boards of sufficiently high quality. We know that you can buy cheap and nasty Cribbage boards all over the place. To produce something completely unique, we have commissioned an experience marquetry craftsman to make some inlaid Cribbage boxes to a high standard.

You won't find the cribbage boxes on this page anywhere else. What better gift for the games enthusiast who has everything - or indeed any lover of fine wooden objects?

Inlaid Cribbage Boxes

Each box opens out on a material hinge with no visible external protuberance. The storage holes for the pegs also serve to lock the closed box into position. The pegs are made from solid polished brass.

The internal surface into which the holes are bored is made from Horse Chestnut wood and the box is lined with finest quality Jenillesuede. The exterior of the Cribbage box is faced with Yew wood with the option of two different decorative central squares on the box top - either 'Walnut Burr' or 'Masur Birch'.

Open dimensions are 255 x 125 x 19mm (10 x 5 x 3/4 inch) and each Cribbage box comes with a pack of Waddington linen-finished playing cards and Cribbage rules that fit neatly inside the box.

These boxes are handmade in England. 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.
