Card ClubHow to play Cribbage
Each player is dealt six cards and puts two into the crib, which belongs to the dealer. A starter card is cut – a Jack gives the dealer 2 points.
During play you take turns laying cards and adding up the count, never passing 31. Score 2 for 15 or 31, points for pairs and runs, and 1 for the last card. Then both hands and the crib are counted with the starter.
Counting made easy
Card Club counts every hand for you and lists each combination – fifteens, pairs, runs, flushes and nobs – before your pegs leapfrog along the board, just like a real cribbage board.
Features
- Wooden pegboard with two pegs per player.
- Computer opponent that weighs every possible discard on Hard.
- Best-hand and skunk statistics, and trophies for 20+ point hands.
