3070 is a cribbage board minus the pegs . Many have a sliding bottom covering a compartment to store the pegs . Obviously, you do not play cribbage. Either that or you only have time for a VERY short gameg A few days ago I did a search on cribbage boards and found that they all have a lot more holes than 3070. I didn't see any with the same number of holes as the board on my site. I do think that it's a scoreboard for some type of game but can't say exactly which one. Everyone whoknows how to play Cribbageknows that each playeruses two pegs to score the game (up to 121). So this board offers a place to restthepegs before anyone has won a game, and tally-up to 10 (games). My "track board" has holes that goes up to 8 (games), but it didn't come to two pegs for that purpose. It could be used for any other game too, enablinggambling perhaps where thepublicexchange of funds may be frowned upon. It just occurred to me, a game of Euchre is scored up to 10 points (but the way I heard it, you're supposed to usethe four 5 cards to display the score). I think that's to distract you while you've being cheated! ; ) Ithink I have never seen what I thought was an "honest" gameof Euchre. It may have been played, but I can't sayas my background is too limited. Bill |
