CARD VALUES: Face cards count 10 each, Ace counts one point, and all other cards count their face value.
SET-UP: One deck of cards is put aside (only one deck is used). Each player chooses a color and places their three pegs in the start area
according to color:
• Silver pegs follow the grey track
• Black pegs follow the white track
• Gold pegs follow the blue track
PLAY: Play begins with the non-dealer. He places a card face upward in front of him and calls out its face value as he does so. Face cards are called
as 10. The dealer then places one of his cards face upward in front of himself and calls out its value.
CRIBBAGE BOARD: A player marks his score by moving two of his pegs along his track. The third peg is used to keep track of the number of
games won on the left of the board.
Whenever a pair, pair royal, double pair royal, sequence or fifteen (but not a flush) is formed during play, the player putting down the card that forms it
scores the appropriate points. If the non-dealer lays down a 5 and the dealer follows it with another 5, the dealer would say “ten for a pair” and score
two points. If a third 5 is played, the non-dealer would say “fifteen for eight,” the eight points being made up of fifteen and a pair royal.
MOVING PEGS: Both pegs are used to score in the following way:
A. A player marks his first score by moving one peg that number of holes from the start.
B. His second score is marked by placing his second peg that number of holes beyond his first peg. The pegs leapfrog along the track, the lead peg
indicating a player's current total and the back peg indicating the previous score.
A sequence of cards scores regardless of the order in which it is played. Thus if cards are played in the order ace, 2, 5, 4, 3, the player putting out
the 3 can count on a run of five cards. Should the second player be able to add a 6 he can score a run of six cards, and so on.
SIX-CARD CRIBBAGE (The basic game for two players)
When the count during play reaches 31, the cards are turned face down and the player whose card brought the total to 31 scores two points. If a
player at his turn is unable to play a card that is within the limit of 31, he says “Go.” His opponent then plays any of his cards that are low enough to
be within the limit. If they make 31 he scores two points, if less than 31 he scores one point and also says “Go.” Count starts over and play then
resumes with the remaining cards in hand, and proceeds until all the cards are played or 31 is again reached. Playing the last card of a hand scores
“one for the last,” (scores one point).
OBJECT: To be the first player to score 121 points, i.e. to be the first to reach the "finish" hole.
THE DEAL: Players cut for deal. The player with the lowest cut (ace is low) deals first, and then the deal alternates between players. Deal six cards,
one at a time, to each player. The remaining cards are placed face down to one side. The Crib is an extra hand scored by the dealer. It is formed by
each of the players discarding two cards, of their choice, and placing them, face down, to the dealer’s right. Each player is then left with a hand of
four cards.
THE SHOW: After all the cards have been played, each player picks up his own cards from in front of him. The non-dealer shows and scores his
hand first, which gives him an advantage if he is very near reaching 121. That start is taken into the reckoning as part of each hand.
THE CUT: After each player discards the non-dealer cuts the deck, and the dealer takes the top card of the bottom cut. This card is placed face up
on the stack for the rest of the game. It is known as the "start" or "starter." If the start is a Jack, the dealer scores "two for his heels," (scores two
points).
A card may be ranked for scoring in any number of different combinations. For example, two 10’s and two 5’s would give a score of eight points for
fifteen plus four points for pairs, giving a total of 12 points. The combination 4,4,5,6,6 scores eight points for fifteen, four points for pairs, and 12
points for sequences, giving a total of 24 points.
SCORING POINTS: Points are scored during the playing of a hand and when the hands are shown after play. Combinations of cards score as
follows:
If a player holds a Jack of the same suit as the start, he scores “one for his mob,” (scores one point).
A. A pair; two cards of the same rank, scoresa two points.
B. A pair royal; three cards of the same rank, scores six points (two points for each of the possible pairs to be
A flush of four cards in a hand scores four points. If the start is of the same suit the player scores five points, but a flush of
four cards including the start scores nothing.
made).
C. A double pair royal; four cards of the same rank, scores twelve points.
D. A “sequence” or “run” is a series of cards in face order (ace low) and score one point for each card. If a flush is also a run, points are scored for
both features.
After the non-dealer has declared his score, the dealer shows and scores his own hand. After which he shows and also
scores for the crib.
