(12:17) Final Pairing and Outtake (15:21) The Game Cribbage is a traditional card game, usually for two players, where the object is to be the first to score 121 points by forming combinations of cards. Players use a special cribbage board to track their points, which are scored in three main ways: during the "pegging" phase as cards are played, by counting their own four-card hand, and by counting the opponent's four-card "crib". The game combines elements of skill and luck, with common scoring combinations including sets of 15, pairs, runs, and flushes.

Yet it does not flaunt the peat; rather it gives way to the natural sweetness of the malt to produce a whisky of perfect balance." - Ardbeg https://www.ardbeg.com/Ardbeg%20Ten%20Years%20Old-1076744.html Follow Tabletop Tastings: TT on Instagram and Facebook: @TabletopTastings Les on Instagram: @Les.TabletopTastings Steve on Instagram: @slicedicedrams Contact us by email: les.tabletoptastings@gmail.com And a special thank you to Dane Von Hardenberg for scoring the music to our outro.
