Let’s learn to play Cribbage
(video link)
Does anyone here know how to play cribbage?
Cribbage is a two-player card game
(or 3 people or 4 can play too)
• Winner is the first to 121 points�• Each player selects two cards to go into the dealer's "crib."
(Players alternate the crib.)
• Each four-card hand scores points based on 15s, runs, pairs, triples, flushes, etc ...
Step 1:
Players cut the deck to decide who deals
Player with the lowest card deals:
A is 1
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Face cards (J, Q, K) are all 10s but rank in that order.
Step 2:
Dealer shuffles and deals out 6 cards each for two players
(5 for 3 players and 1 in crib or 5 cards for 4 players)
Each play decides on 4 cards to keep and two to place in the dealers crib.
(Discard 1 into crib if playing with 3 or 4 players)
Step 3:
Cut the deck &
Pegging
The person who didn’t deal will start the counting
The non-dealer cuts the deck and dealer flips a card for later when counting hands.
(flip a Jack - 2 points)
Now play one card each at a time back and forth and add it’s total.
Don’t go past 31.
While Pegging: count back and forth to 31, you can earn points:
Step 4:
Count your hands
Once the hands and crib are counted, it’s the next player turn to deal.
Once all the cards are down on the table, let’s count our hands.
The person who didn’t deal will count first.
Just like math:
ORDER MATTERS!
