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. An original best-seller since 2013!
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.
Rules of play are in our blog post. A cribbage board can also keep score for the games All Fives and Muggins, or other point-counting games.
Available in our Parts section:
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.
Birch plywood, hand-dyed vegetable-tanned leather, brass hardware, and premium cork closure.
When closed, the board itself measures 2" x 3 7/8" x 3/8" thick (50mm x 98mm x 9mm) and weighs in at 1.2 ounces (35g).

Awesome product, great quality!

We purchased the original travel cribbage board as the ultra light gift set and are extremely happy with this product. It’s the perfect size to fit into your pocket and is light and portable for those trips where weight matters. We hike extensively into the back country off trail most of the time and every ounce counts. We love using it seated next to the campfire and on those rainy days when stuck under the tarp/in tent for hours on end. We always bring it with us. I would definitely buy this for the outdoor enthusiast or even to keep in a camper/rv for long road trips.
Quality made 👍👍👍
Love my travel board! I ordered it with the metal pegs and it is perfect. So small and perfect for any trip in the backcountry or travel.
Size makes it a little tricky to count, but the trade off for the weight and packability is worth it. Smaller than the deck of cards.
Also, super fast shipping with excellent communication. Would buy from seller again.

The cribbage board I just received is delightful - well-designed, beautifully made, and a joy to own.

Very nice quality. Size is smaller than a deck of cards which is perfect for travel. The cast pegs are well worth the upgrade. Ours laid flat immediately. Arrived quickly - the packaging even with just the basic order was unique and thoughtful. Highly recommend both the seller and the product!!

Love it!! This cribbage board is smaller than I imagined but in a good and very cute way. Its a perfect size for travel, the cast pegs are solid quality, and I really love the personalized info card that comes with the set. You can tell this item has been made with care, and not to mention was delivered in 4 days after ordering (without a custom monogram). Thank you ❤

The quality is great, it shipped fast and secure and I actually like the little wire pegs more than the brass ones. I've already used it for a few games on the road. Thanks so much!

I purchased the travel cribbage board for my husband’s birthday and had it personalized. It is beautiful! It’s size is perfect for travel, the personalization is beautifully done and the packaging was wonderful. ❤️
Amazing gift that keeps on giving. Fits easily in a shirt pocket or small purse, lightweight and amazing craftsmanship. I like the gift set because everything stays together in the bag. Will be buying more for gifts. Thank you!

Got this for an anniversary present for my spouse. I love the way the monogram turned out, and the size is very nice and compact! A huge upgrade from the plastic board we used to play on.
Is this board able to snap around a pack of the mini cards?
Thank you!
We designed the Deluxe and Mini Deluxe Cribbage Boards to encase/enclose a deck of playing cards (or mini cards) inside the board. The Original Travel Cribbage Board cannot snap around a deck of cards (mini or otherwise). Great question, thank you for asking!
