Run (Sequence): Adding cards, that with cards previously played, form: Pair: Playing a card of equal rank as the one previously played, Peg 2įour (Double Pair, Double Pair Royal): Adding the 4th card of same value, Peg 12 Players can score points for a Go and the following combinations:įifteen: Playing a card that makes the total = 15, Peg 2 The goal of the game is to collect points through pegging. Whoever plays the last card gets to peg 1 for Go and an extra peg if they land directly on 31. You cannot lead the next phase with cards previously used to score combinations. Whoever called Go leads in the next phase of play, the count begins at zero again. They can also score points for pairs and runs, which are described below. After the Go, the opponent can play any cards in hand that can be played without making the total exceed 31.
Once a player cannot play a card without going over 31, they must say “go.” Their opponent then pegs 1. The cards running total cannot exceed 31.
Number cards are worth face value or pip value. For example, play beings with a 2, the nondealer says, “two.” Next, the dealer plays an 8, they say “ten.” Kings, Queens, and Jacks are all worth 10 points. Players keep the cards in their hands separate.Įach player must announce the running total of the value of cards by adding the one they are playing to the one previously played. This continues back and forth, their hands being exposed one card at a time. Then the dealer follows, revealing a card. THE PLAYĪfter the starter was flipped, the nondealer plays a single card on the table, face-up. This card is not used in Cribbage play but is used rather later when players make card combinations. This is the starter card. If this card is a jack, it is referred to as “His Heels,” dealer pegs 2 (scores 2) points. The top card of the lower part of the deck is placed on top. Once the rib is “laid away,” a non-dealer player cuts the deck. Those four cards laid away are “ the crib.” The crib is the dealer’s, however, these cards are not revealed until after the hands are played. Players examine their 6 card hand and must “lay away” two cards for a total of four cards in hand. The dealer shuffles the cards last and lets a non-dealer cut the deck before dealing.Īfter, the dealer passes each player 6 cards face-down, starting with their opponent or the player to their left. However, when starting a new game the loser of the previous one is the first dealer. The deal alternates after the first hand. The player who has the lowest cut card deals first.
If two players draw cards of equal rank they must draw again. Using a shuffled deck, each player cuts a single card, leaving a minimum if four cards at the end of the deck. A game of 61 points is referred to as a “once around” and a game of 121 points as a “twice around.” THE DEAL Pegs jump each other to demonstrate the increment of the points gained between turns. Every time a player scores, they move a peg along their side of the board. Each player grabs two pegs that are the same color. Each player receives a total of 121 continuous holes on some boards. The rows are split into two sets of rows by a middle panel. THE CRIBBAGE BOARDĪ Cribbage Boards has 4 rows with 30 holes in each row. Points are earned by making card combinations. The goal of the game is to accumulate points to the target 121 points (or 61 points). This game is tailored for 2 or 3 players, however, players can form teams of two in a four player game. This also makes scoring more efficient which in turns makes the game more fast-paced and engaging. The most interesting facet of cribbage is its use of a cribbage board to keep score, rather than a pen and paper. RANK OF CARDS: K (high), Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, AĬribbage is a 400-year-old game that descended from an English card game known as “Noddy.” The creator of the game was Sir John Suckling, who was an English poet. OBJECTIVE OF CRIBBAGE: Be the first player to score 121 points (or 61 points).
