In most circles, missed points can be claimed by your opponent. You manage what you discard (keeping in mind whose crib it is), the order in which you play your cards, and even how you score your hand.

Managing your hand of cards is the chief mechanic of Cribbage. (See the title of this post for an example of how scoring is usually called out.) Points are given for pairs, runs, and notably totals of 15. Such scoring is usually called pegging.Īfter all cards have been played, the non-dealer first scores his (5-card) hand, then the dealer does the same, and finally the dealer scores the crib. Points can be scored along the way as pairs, runs, and totals of 15 are revealed. Players alternate playing their 4 cards until they can no longer play without going over 21.

Starting with the non-dealer, cards are played to the table (face up) one at a time, and a running total is called out. This cut card is placed face up on top of the full deck and is later used in scoring as a 5th card in all hands, including the crib. The crib will later be scored by the dealer only.Īfter the crib has been formed, the non-dealer cuts the deck, and the dealer reveals the top card from the bottom portion of the deck. Each player then must discard 2 of those cards into a new hand called the crib. To start a hand of Cribbage with 2 players, you deal 6 cards to each player. There are larger cribbage boards that have all 120 (plus starting) holes in one circuit. You play with a standard deck of 52 cards and a special scoring track aptly called a cribbage board.Ĭribbage is usually played by 2 people but can also be played with 3 (usually using a special 3-track board) and with 4, playing partners.Ī full game of Cribbage consists of 121 points, which on most cribbage boards means you go around the scoring track twice. Cribbage is a classic card game that seems to have originated in the 1600s.
