A Lake Tahoe cribbage board in solid birch, 14 by 14 inches: the lake etched into the playing surface with three peg tracks circling it, oil-finished, pegs stored underneath.

Storm days at altitude were made for cribbage, and this board makes the snowed-in hours scenic: pegs round Emerald Bay, sprint the Nevada shore, and race for home past Tahoe City. Three tracks seat the whole cabin crew, the skunk lines settle who shovels, and the hidden compartment keeps the pegs through the summer offseason.

It hangs by the fireplace between blizzards, looking suspiciously like art.

The lake's full depths are carved on the Tahoe 3D chart.
