Folding Travel Cribbage Board
Folding Travel Cribbage Board
An early 17th century English game, Cribbage has taken roots here in the north east, and we've been thrilled to make heirloom quality boards for the local community.
Travel cribbage boards let you take the game of cribbage out with you! Perfect to toss in your glove box or backpack - take camping or play on your lunch break.
Our travel cribbage boards are available in 3 wood finishes, and use rare earth magnets to hold them closed and open. Each board comes with a deck of cards and metal pegs, that live inside the board when not in use. The face of the board is a full sized game of cribbage, with start / finish / skunk and double skunk markers.
They all come in a storage bag and make perfect gifts!

Care information
Care information
Edge grain boards need a little bit of love and care to give you a lifetime of use – so please follow these guidelines!
- They may feel greasy or oily when they arrive. This is normal! Temperature changes during shipping can melt or firm up the oil and wax, and it’s not uncommon for them to seep. This is why they are wrapped in plastic first. Simply wipe them down with a paper towel.
- Never ever *ever* put them in the dishwasher! Big no no! They will dry out, twist and warp and make us all sad.
- Water is the enemy. If possible, avoid leaving them on wet surfaces or soaking them in the sink. If they get wet, just wipe them off when you’re done – the bees wax will protect it, but you don’t want to let it soak and absorb too much.
- Storing them upright helps prevent water from soaking in and causing twists or warps.
- If they start to look a little dry, or sad, or feel rough – give them a generous coating on all sides of the board oil – let them sit for anywhere between 30 mins and overnight, and buff them with a lint free cloth. This will rehydrate the board, and the wax will give it a water resistant coating. You may want to do this more often in the early days to get them nice and saturated.
None of this is a hard science – they are meant to be used, to be cut on, to be tools in your kitchen or grill and home – but like anything, a little bit of TLC will make them love you forever!
If they ever get so rough from use you want to resurface them, spend some time sanding down to 220 grit – then a liberal dose of board butter or mineral oil to bring the color back – and they will be good as new.
We sell our own custom blend of board butter! You can pick up 4oz right here.
These game boards are adorable! Love the quality and convenience of the travel sets! Great workmanship
