No, not if each player has their own home area on the board.

@Gendolkari I was thinking of that just as game piece storage, rather than a real "home".

Cribbage boards typically don't have 39 pegs parked in the home area.

<p>What is the name of this game?  Board is a one-piece solid oak plank (approximately 7-3/4 inch by 13-3/4 inch) with 247 holes in three areas.  Appears that each player begins with 39 black or white pegs parked in separate and opposite "home" areas (each home area is 13 by 3 rows).  Playing area consists of a central 13 by 13 grid of holes.  I presume that pegs are moved from home area to playing area in turns.  I have the game but no idea of the name or rules.  I understand that this game was a favorite in "Games Magazine" in the mid-1980s.  Well made board and wooden dowel pegs.  No box (not sure there ever was one) or instructions.  Does this ring a bell with anyone?</p>

Hans Adler:  Possibly!  Thanks for your response.  The game that I have is strictly a two-person game with three distinct areas.  Each of the two "home" areas is 13 by 3 rows and separated from the "playing" area (13 by 13 rows) by about  a 1-1/4 inch space.  Rows and Columns  in each of the three areas are separated by exactly 1/2 inch.  Art
