I come from a family of cribbage players. True story: I only had a hand of 29 once in my life, but I never got to play it. Even worse, I was playing my mom and she counted first to go out, leaving me BEHIND the skunk line!!!

A very memorable evening, but for the wrong reasons. But I did enjoy playing cards with mom. She's been gone 13 years.
