Contextual Information

This board was used to score during the card game Cribbage. The idea of the game is for players to reach a targeted score. If someone fails to reach the score, then another player may call out “Muggins!” and gain any points not pegged by a player. Cribbage was a very popular game in the early 1900s and there would have been game nights at hotels, like the Australian Hotel in Sandstone.
