It's not the most popular card game around here. The uniquely Irish and infamously confusing game of '25' takes precedence there, but occasionally I'll find a wanderer passing through who will take me on in a game of cribbage.

Interesting. I’ve never seen that game. Strikes me as closer to Hearts in terms of gameplay than Crib on reading that but I guess with the 5s it’s close to Crib too.

Yeah it's most similar to Hearts, you're spot on. I get the feeling that Irish brought 25 over to the states and it morphed into Hearts somwhere along the way.
