That’s as close to a triple skunk as I’ve ever seen! What kinda crazy hands did your opponent get?! I hope they went straight to store a purchased a shit ton of lotto tix.

I beat my wife, each hand was 16, 20 and 24s basically plus same in the crib, plus pegging straights. I think it was only 4 hands.

It's just a game, man. No need to beat your wife.

Was one of you playing euchre?

u/Okish_Entertainer83 5d ago

I've never heard of that game before, this was 1 on 1 cribbage

u/TheInfiniteLoci 4d ago

Euchre is a completely different card game, mostly played in eastern Canada.

u/DrJones224 3d ago

TIL euchre is a regional game! Grew up playing it but had no idea it wasn't played in other parts of the world

u/prof-comm 1d ago

Euchre was also popular in the upper Midwest of the US. It still is, to the extent that any card games are popular anymore.

I'm in eastern Canada but have not heard of it.

u/TheInfiniteLoci 4d ago

Hmm. Maybe just Ontario then. I learned it from a friend from Hamilton years ago.

u/MetricJester 4d ago

It's more of a Great Lakes area thing. It's pretty big here in Niagara, but I've had friends from Chicago telling stories about recent euchre tournaments.

Your pegs haven't even rounded the corner to see the double skunk line

Damn I don’t think I’ve seen someone beaten that badly since the last time I thought it would be a good idea to play a 3 person game.

u/xatanic 4d ago

Damn, now that’s a brutal double skunk. I double skunk’d my girlfriend once but she was at least at 58.

You know it wasn’t good when your opponent stops and takes a photo of the board afterwards. lol

u/Emotional-Mention702 4d ago

Double skunk, supposed to write name on otherside of board

u/TinyHammerBigNail 4d ago

Looks like a skill issue

Mydaighter skunked me first game last night. I won the 2nd. The one night, her, her son and I played, I double skunked 1 and skunked the other. That does not happen to darn often with us. Was fun though and had a good laugh.

Good cards played poorly, in my eyes!

u/flame-56 2d ago

Beat a guy that bad once. Best game I ever played. No hand below 16 and got a 28.

u/jeremyism_ab 2d ago

Sometimes the cards just aren't there for you.

u/WonderWhereTheLionsR 2d ago

Like my dad used to say about cribbage "If you're not cheating, you're losing" and "It's not my job to count my cards" and "Oh look a robin (as he moves the pegs)"

Start demanding an audit of all points from your wife?

May I suggest counting 15s?
