Where can I buy a cribbage game?
Has anyone bought one lately? I tried Barnes and Noble and they were out. Target on-line says it doesn't have any in its stores, and I won't go to Walmart. I need it by Saturday for a gift, so I have to buy it in person. Thanks.

2. It's for a relative
She really likes cribbage. We don't have toy or game stores in my small town, but maybe I'll have to break down and drive a few miles. I was hoping someone could name an exact store that they bought one at recently.

Check all the toy stores in any mall near you. BTW, if you didnt look for yourself at Target, it may be there.

:)

Edit: I feel same way about suk-mart :D

7. We got ours at the Jack Daniel's distillery in Lynchburg, TN.
About 20+ yrs ago. Don't know whether they still sell them, or whether you live near there.

It rocks. Made from a barrel stave.

:hi:

9. The distillery is in a dry county. But they do give free samples of ...
... lemonaid made with the same water used in the Jack Daniel's. Actually, I have heard that they have problems with the spring doing dry, or something, and that it may affect the product output.

10. Wrap up a deck of cards, . . .
a foot-long piece of 2x6, a 1/8" drill bit, and four toothpicks, two colored black with a Sharpie. That's a do-it-yourself crib set.

11. Great idea
Really. That might do for myself, but for the one I want to give as a gift...I don't know. Good idea, though.
