Cribbage is a classic two-player card game (also playable with three or four) that combines strategy and luck. Players are dealt six cards, selecting two to place in the box /crib (a bonus hand for the dealer). A starter card is revealed, then players take turns playing cards without exceeding 31, earning points for making 15, pairs, and runs. After play, hands (and the crib) are scored using the starter card. Points are tracked with pegs on a board, and the first to reach 121 wins. Would you like a quick scoring guide?
