A concise history of this semi-epic battle, complete with win-loss statistics, is collected in this article.

Zach and Jonathan’s four years of friendship and cribbage culminated in early April with the 500th game played since that fateful fall day freshmen year when Jonathan saw Zach’s board and inquired “You play?†and Zach answered “Yes.†A perfect situation unfolded for the 500th game – Chadbourne resident and cribbage fan Robert Hahn '05 had scheduled a root beer keg party for Saturday April 10th, and welcomed Zach and Jonathan's big game to the festivities. To promote the blockbuster event, the following ad was run in the Daily Messages the week of April 4th:
TOTAL COLLEGE TALLY: Z-money 295, J-dawg 280
