We are going to start a new game night this season, for all of you cribbage lovers, every third Thursday of the month. Here are the details:
-Check in starts at 6 pm with play starting at 6:30 pm
-$5 entry per person (all money paid out to top 4 winners)
-Three- or Two-person head-to-head for a single game:
Winner moves "up" a table
-If a 3-person table, middle person stays put, loser moves "down" a table
-At the conclusion of each game, point scores are recorded based on points earned for the game (winner = 121, loser(s) gets their own point total)
-a "skunk" gets +5 bonus points for the winner
-a "double skunk" gets +10 bonus points for the winner
Each player plays a total of 3 games. At the end of the evening, prizes are distributed to top 4 point earners:
Top point earner: 40%
Second point earner: 30%
Third point earner: 20%
Fourth point earner: 10%
In the event of a tie for any of the top 4 point earners, the winnings are evenly split among those who tie.

Note: This will be taking place the same night as Euchre or Bags, depending on the season, but will be run in a separate space.
