You've heard the adage "you spend a third of your life sleeping so buy a good mattress". It's true. As a younger man I floundered on mattresses with broken springs but now I sleep like a king on my tempurpedic. You don't spend a third of your life playing cribbage, but the same principle applies. So why invest in a custom, personalized, or handmade cribbage board?
The game of cribbage has a rich history and has been bringing friends and families together to play this game for centuries. Cribbage players know how special the game is, and a cribbage board is an essential part of the game. While mass-produced cribbage boards are readily available, there's a growing trend towards investing in custom cribbage boards.
Cribbage is a game to spend quality time with friends and family. In my opinion, a cheap chinese made board with plastic pegs doesn't cut it. Sure, you can get them for $19.99 at Walmart, but isn't a quality cribbage board worth the investment? Custom boards have the potential to become cherished heirlooms. They are built to last and can be passed down from one generation to the next.
There are dozens of talented custom cribbage board makers out there that sell their creations online. By choosing to invest in a custom cribbage board, you're supporting local artisans and small businesses. Many of these craftsmen take pride in their work and appreciate the opportunity to share their creations with cribbage enthusiasts. Your purchase contributes to the preservation of traditional craftsmanship and helps local artists thrive. I'd much rather support these folks than big box stores and the chinese made crap inside them.
Custom cribbage boards offer a level of personalization that mass-produced ones simply cannot match. Whether you want to include your name, a special message, or a design that reflects your unique style, a custom cribbage board allows you to create something that is distinctly yours. Personalization adds a sentimental touch to the game, making it more enjoyable and meaningful.
Custom cribbage boards come in an array of designs, from classic and elegant to whimsical and creative. You can choose a design that resonates with your personality or preferences, whether it's a nautical theme, a rustic look, or a sleek modern design. These unique designs not only make your cribbage board stand out but can also serve as conversation starters during your game nights.
So go ahead and buy a custom cribbage board. It can enhance the fun of the game and the people we share it with. Treat yourself to a one-of-a-kind board or gift one to a cribbage lover, the decision to pay for a custom cribbage board is sure to be well worth the cost.
