Inspired by the pocket games soldiers carried in WWII, our Travel Cribbage Board Gift Set has become such a perennial favorite among Walnut fans that we introduced a new twist: we've made it 38% cuter!

Lighter weight and lower volume, our new gift set is perfect for ounce-counters, backpackers, world travelers, through-hikers, and light packers everywhere.

The Ultralight Travel Cribbage Gift Set comes complete with a 3.25" x 5" double-drawstring muslin carrying pouch decorated with artwork by illustrator Carla Bartow and a set high quality linen mini Travel Playing Cards (which are also sold separately).

The new set is 38% lighter than the regular Gift Set, and significantly smaller in volume, weighing in at 3oz / 87g (compared to the Gift Set, which weighs 4.8oz / 137g).

We've shrunk down the carrying pouch, and we've shrunk down the playing cards - but not TOO much, so they're still comfortable to play. The Travel Cribbage Board is the same size.

The new playing cards are a half-size deck, measuring 1.75" x 2.5" (45mm x 63mm). We selected the nicest materials for this custom-made deck: linen material for airy weight and a smooth matte finish for lovely handfeel.

On the back, we feature an art print by Jim Golden photography, an actual photo of our entire collection.

On the front, we selected a standard bridge deck with the card numbers in all four corners, which we've found to be perfect for counting your partner's points across the table during cribbage.
