Inspired by the pocket games soldiers carried in WWII, our handcrafted Travel Cribbage Board is one of the smallest folding cribbage boards on the market. 

Smaller than a deck of cards and made to fit in your bike bag, backpack, or pocket, the 60-point laser-engraved birchwood board comes complete with 4 pegs for 2 players, which are stored safely inside the inset brass tube with a premium-grade cork plug. The dark brown leather is secured with an antique brass closure. Includes a handy minibook with rules of play. 

Crafted in our Oregon workshop from fine hand-dyed vegetable-tanned American leather, we can also monogram the Travel Cribbage Board for a personalized, statement-making piece.

Our line of uniquely designed travel games are small enough to be portable and lightweight but large enough to be legible and substantial in the hand. All of our travel games are original designs, created and handcrafted by Geoffrey Franklin in our Oregon workshop. 

PEG OPTIONS

• Crafted 'wire' pegs are the most lightweight, shaped to a fine point, and are perfect for travelers on the go because you can replace them with 14 gauge solid copper wire at any hardware store in the world. Wire pegs come in red and black solid copper.
• Solid metal 'cast' cribbage pegs are CNC milled in America. Upgrade to the 'cast' pegs for slightly more weight but a wonderful hand feel. 'Cast' metal pegs come in black and brass.

  • 'Board Only' is just the Travel Cribbage Board with included minibook and choice of pegs (no cards or bag)

    - 4' x 6' muslin carrying pouch with double-drawstring, decorated with artwork by Portland illustrator Carla Bartow

  • 'Ultralight Gift Set' is 38% lighter and smaller in size. It's great for ounce-counters and super lightweight travelers and backpackers. Includes:

  HOW TO PLAY CRIBBAGE

  MONOGRAMMING

  Yes! The leather can be monogrammed with up to 4 characters using our 1/4' brass alphabet set. Monogramming can add to the turnaround time. Monogram placement is shown in the last photo. Learn more about monogramming.
