2 Player Pinochle and Cribbage


i've had my Jack Daniel barrel stave cribbage board for 30 years but i have played very few games on it....i mostly use it for scoring dominoes...i've heard of 2-handed pinochle but i can't imagine that being fun for long?!....they have a big cribbage tournament here every year during Fur Rondy:
...also all sorts of other tournaments...etc...
Does anyone here play or know how to play this? Some card experts claim it requires the most skill to play of any 2- handed card game.
While Cribbage isn't generally regarded as a high skill card game, I tend to disagree. There is much to know regarding timing of when to play certain cards and being to anticipate what your opponent could play durig a given round.
Any thoughts? Just trying to liven things up a bit.
