Cribbage is a great game - pub or anywhere else. I used to play with an old boy - I'm going back 30 years now - in my local in the village. I, being a rank amateur, used to have to laboriously count the points in my hand, He - having played for 50 years or more - could just look at the hand and instantly know the points in it. Needless to say, he beat me every time. There's an art in knowing what two cards to throw away to make up the box...
