Cribbage is a card game that is usually played using a board and pegs to keep score. The game is said to have existed since the 17th century and while not as popular as other card games has a devoted following. Cribbage is a game of skill that involves scoring points for runs of sequential cards, pairs, triples, quadruples, flushes and combinations of 15. Cribbage can be played between 2 to 6 people, usually as two or three individuals or as two or three two person teams.

Part of what makes the game of cribbage so unique is the cribbage board used to play it. Most cribbage boards consist of a type of track with 121 peg holes used for scoring. As players score points they move their pegs the corresponding number of holes until one player reaches the last hole and wins. While the game play and scoring remains the same no matter what type of board you are playing on, cribbage boards range greatly in style and design.

The most common type of cribbage board is a rectangular board with two or three tracks that wind around the board curving twice. These boards are usually 12 or 13 inches long and a few inches wide. Some are solid in design and others fold for easy travel and storage. This type of board is the one most people are familiar with and are easy to use and understand. Most of the time the board will include pegs and will even have a small slot built-in in which to store them. Sometimes the tracks are all the same color but more commonly they are painted different colors that correspond with each color peg. Usually players use two pegs to track their movements as they score points.

Other board layouts include rectangular boards with square track that runs around the perimeter of the board and ends in the middle. These types of boards also come in 2 or 3 track designs and usually include a space at one end to hold extra pegs for scoring who has won each game. Like the classic boards, this design can be natural or have painted tracks to match the color of the pegs. These types of board are often bigger than the classic board and more ornate. They also usually include pegs and a place top store them.

Some cribbage boards have different track design, curving three or four times or even ending in a circle. There are many styles available form classic to creative and all will do a good job assisting you in scoring your game of cribbage. Most cribbage boards are made of wood as they have been since the game's invention. You can, however, find cribbage boards today made of different materials such as plastic, and you can even find specialty boards made of more luxurious things such as marble or stone. No matter what type of cribbage board you choose you are sure to have fun playing this time honored game.

UFO and Alien Presence in Human History

Unusual objects being spotted in the sky and drawings of strange-looking little men have formed long before the existence of modern man. The first depiction of cylindrical objects shaped like UFOs is shown in a 47,000 year old, Neanderthal-age drawing that was found on the rocks and mountains in Hunan Province, China.

UFO skeptics suggest that many people have seen objects in the sky that they cannot identify, but to any astronomer, these perceptions may just be a weather balloon, a star, or a meteor. Some people have even mistaken lenticular clouds for UFOs. Yet, true believers bring up the lengthy history of alleged UFOs and their alien passengers as proof that these sightings are phenomena that go far beyond science.

According to UFO researchers and enthusiasts, the history of alien creatures and spacecraft is found all over the world in the forms of art work, oral legends, tablets, monuments, and petroglyphs. A recorded account of a UFO sighting goes back to the 1504-1450 B.C. writing of an Egyptian papyrus, who describes the object as a "fire circle." After a few days, he noticed that more of them appeared in the sky until they reached the limits of heaven, then after some time, ascended higher into the sky and disappeared.

A report recorded in the Bible by Exekiel describes a stranger sighting of four living creatures in the form of men. Each had four faces and four wings and darted back and forth like a lightning flash.

Roman author Julius Obsequens compiled the book Prodigorium liber to highlight preternatural sights with one account tracing back to 90 B.C. In 216 B.C., a person describes a fire in the sky with "things like ships were seen in the sky over Italy," also described as a "round shield."

There are numerous other reports of strange lights, objects, and creatures that continued throughout the early periods of A.D. with similarities to modern reports. In 13th century England, a pile of fire was reported to have rose from the south, crossed the sky to the north, then increased speed and flew into the sky.

In Japan in 1232, the first official investigation into UFOs took place after members of an army saw strange lights that swerved around in the sky for many hours. It was finally concluded to be just "wind making the stars sway," which itself may not have scientific backing.

Astronomers have also reported similar UFO sightings. In 1762 in Switzerland, amateur astronomer Monsieur de Rostan captured the first UFO photograph. He tracked a spindle-shaped object crossing the sun, which is supported by a couple of other astronomers. Later in 1799, the English Gentleman's Magazine featured an article that detailed a mass viewing of a pillar of fire (the same account of fire) passing from the north to the south.

Unlike pre-modern men, modern men have been able to track inexplicable appearances using radar from the ground and in the sky. They even have the technology to create deceptive UFO phenomena using special effects or falsified documents. Yet, since the Neanderthal era, reports of UFO and alien sightings which strongly resemble modern ones have appeared. These reports remain largely inexplicable and hold bases for further investigations.
