I really really enjoy my printed crib board. It's really cool to have a one of a kind very rare electronic led light cribbage board to use and to add to my current cribbage board collection. I had great customer service upon inquiring about the progress of the shipment relative to delivery estimate and the option I had picked for shipping.
It works really well, I'm very careful with it so that I'm not affecting the exposed electronic pieces on the bottom that flows to the lighting on the board side. If I had to give an idea (if it's possible, understandable if not from a cost and design standpoint), to maybe design a protective cover for the exposed side so that it protects the electronic chips and equipment from being exposed and potentially damaged.
But anywho I am very pleased with everything overall and recommend this company and this cribbage to others. I look forward to future cribbage boards they may develop!
We love playing the game, and the light show when we win!
Crib has always been a game played by my family at every get together. Printed crib board was not only my Dads favorite present, it’s a lighted twist we all enjoyed. (Expect not easy to cheat with)
Love the idea and its operation. Works great. I believed a case for it to sit in is needed. Will probably build one for myself for sure.
But love it still.
Great product, really like the tactile feedback on the buttons.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is it and how does it work?
It’s an electronic crib board!Instead of moving pegs around the board by hand, players press buttons to advance their LED indicators and track their score.
How does it work?
It’s very simple. Turn the board on with the on/off switch.Play your hand and count your score.Pick a colour (Blue, Red, or White) and press the ‘+’ button (go forward) to mark your score.
Is it difficult to learn/use?
Not at all. The board works just like a regular crib board. It was designed for everyone – young and old – to play and enjoy.The scoring buttons are strategically placed on both sides of the board to enable everyone at the table easy access.The ‘+’ button (go forward) has a colour coded LED next to it for easy recognition.
Isn’t scoring a big hand and having to press the button multiple times tedious?
Not at all, this was something we were worried about during development. The scoring buttons we use provide tactile feedback when pressed.The tactile feedback makes scoring a big hand surprisingly satisfying.You can also press and hold the ‘+’ instead of pressing multiple times if you prefer.
What do I do if I pressed the ‘+’ button too many times by accident (or maybe miscounted a hand)?
There are ‘+’ buttons (go forward) and ‘-’ buttons (go back) for each colour track.If you over score, simply use the ‘-‘ button to correct.
How do you know what your score was before you pressed the button?
Similar to regular crib, the Printed Crib Board uses two LED indicators to “leapfrog” your score.
After a 2sec pause in scoring, another button press will leapfrog the trailing LED ahead of the forward LED. Just like regular crib.
What type of batteries does the Printed Crib Board take?
The Printed Crib Board requires 4 x AA batteries to operate. Batteries are not included for shipping purposes.
How long do the batteries last?
With careful design choices we were able to optimize the energy budget. Our calculations indicate that the board will last approximately 113 hrs of playing time on a fresh set of batteries! That’s a lot of crib!
What happens when you win?
When a player scores the winning point, the associated LED track will race around in a celebratory show.
The light show will continue until you use the reset button or turn the board off.
I have dexterity/mobility challenges and have difficulties pressing the scoring buttons, can I play the Printed Crib Board too?
Yes! This is one of the key reasons we designed this product. We wanted to include friend/family who struggled with traditional pegs.
Every Printed Crib Board comes with connectors for external buttons. However, the use of the external buttons is optional.
The external button connectors can be used with any type of button (large format, squeeze, sip-and-puff, etc) that use a 3.5mm mono audio plug.
Can I buy alternative/external buttons from SANDL Electronics?
Not yet, but we’re working on it. Check back soon!
Until then, the external connectors will accept any cord connected 3.5mm mono audio plug (CUI devices MP3502 or equivalent).
How big is it and how much does it weigh?
The Printed Crib Board is a very robust product. We’ve used a 4mm thick circuit board to ensure no bend or flex during game play.The dimensions are: 35cms x 13cms x 2.5cms
The weight is: 450g (without batteries)
Check out the product photos for a “banana for scale” image.
What’s in the box?
Each Printed Crib Board ships completely assembled in an antistatic bag.
The antistatic bag (which we recommend you keep and store the PCB in when not in use) is then wrapped in bubble wrap and placed in a branded storage box with an instructions card.Batteries are not included.
