Abstract:

An improved cribbage game having a gameboard formed with the graphic representation of a sporting course such as a golf course having a plurality of fairways, each beginning with a tee and culminating in a green and golf hole. The rows of cribbage game pegholes for scoring points are in the form of non-linear tracks following the fairways through the golf course. The non-linear tracks include a plurality of detours from the tracks starting from a sporting obstacle peghole on the track and terminating at a return peghole on the track with at least one additional off-track peghole in between. In the example of a golf course, the detours represent golfing obstacles or hazards. The additional off-track pegholes are followed by the pegs of players when the pegs stop in a sporting obstacle peghole after scoring and tallying the points. A set of supplemental sporting rules supplement the rules of cribbage specifying that players must follow a detour when pegs of players stop in a sporting obstacle peghole and that a player who first completes a respective track through the course wins the game.
