Card Games PDX

I host a weekly cribbage night at Old Town Brewing (Northeast). The standard format is a double-elimination tournament. Anyone who loses in the first round is entered into the secondary bracket, so everyone sees at least two games of competition. Winner of the tournament gets one of their drinks comped at the end of the night, and they receive the honor of using the "fancy board" at next week's tournament. Winner of the secondary tournament gets to use the "not-so-fancy board" at next week's tournament. No drink purchase or buy-in necessary, but I accept tokens of gratitude in the form of pints and personalized limericks. If you don't know the rules or you want a warm-up match, shoot me a message, and I'll show up at 6:30 to help you out. If you don't see us downstairs, we might be set up on the second floor. Let me know ahead of time if mobility would make stairs tough, and I'll be sure to set up downstairs.
I have cribbage boards and cards a plenty, but if you have a cool board or deck, please bring them by. Beginner friendly. No muggins.

This is an ACC "grass roots" club.

The American Cribbage Congress (ACC) is a national organization that sponsors tournaments and grass roots clubs, and standardizes rules.

You will play 6 games against 6 different opponents.

The money collected from entry fees is paid out to the top finishers.

Recommended for experienced intermediate/advanced players.

You should be able to finish a game in less than 20 minutes.

There will be players there who are not from Meetup, so even when there are few RSVP's, you can be sure we will play.

Play begins at 6:30 sharp! Try to be there by 6:20.

If you are late, you probably won't get to play.

For any who play, or would like to learn to play double-deck pinochle.

Each group of 4 players can play by whatever rules they agree to.
For those familiar with the game, I formed the group hoping to play the no-pass version, with the rule that a team must take at least 20 points in tricks to save their meld.

We generally alternate weeks between pass and no pass to accommodate players who prefer to pass.
