Jacque, my old grandfather was a fanatic at crib and would take on all comers, but as the years progressed and his eyesight began to fade with age, it got harder for him to see the holes and insert the pegs, so my dad built him a 4' long board on legs with 1/8" x 2" pegs.
It sat about 2' high, just like a coffee table, and him and his old buds could then sit for hours and enjoy the game.
Great stuff
