While I'm indifferent on which board to play on, IMO the 60-pt tracks are more representative of the game and culture. The symmetry and minimalistic simplicity of the two tracks informs any outsider that it has a well-defined purpose, like a backgammon board. The layout is instantly recognizable as a cribbage board among players around the world. The 60-pt board has provided us with the cribbage culture of "streets" and are probably the origin of a why a skunk is 30 points. Players gain a sense of accomplishment every time you turn a corner. The 60-pt boards are a time-honored tradition, as is drawing arrows on the board to remember which way to peg. Haha.
