Further, a flush cannot happen during the play of the cards; it occurs only when the hands and the crib are counted. The highest possible score for combinations in a single Cribbage deal is 29, and it may occur only once in a Cribbage fan's lifetime -in fact, experts say that a 29 is probably as rare as a hole-in-one in golf. To make this amazing score, a player must have a five as the starter upcard and the other three fives plus the jack of the same suit as the starter - His Nobs: 1 point - in their hand.
The double pair royal four 5s peg another 12 points; the various fives used to hit 15 can be done four ways for 8 points; and the jack plus a 5 to hit 15 can also be done four ways for 8 points. Muggins optional. Each player must count his hand and crib aloud and announce the total. If he overlooks any score, the opponent may say "Muggins" and then score the overlooked points for himself.
For experienced players, the Muggins rule is always in effect and adds even more suspense to the game. Game may be fixed at either points or 61 points. The play ends the moment either player reaches the agreed total, whether by pegging or counting one's hand.
If the non-dealer "goes out" by the count of his hand, the game immediately ends and the dealer may not score either his hand or the crib.
If a player wins the game before the loser has passed the halfway mark did not reach 31 in a game of 61, or 61 in a game of , the loser is "lurched," and the winner scores two games instead of one. A popular variation of games played to , is a "skunk" double game for the winner if the losing player fails to pass the three-quarter mark - 91 points or more - and it is a "double skunk" quadruple game if the loser fails to pass the halfway mark 61 or more points.
The Cribbage board see illustration has four rows of 30 holes each, divided into two pairs of rows by a central panel. There are usually four or two additional holes near one end, called "game holes. Note: There are also continuous track Cribbage boards available which, as the name implies, have one continuous line of holes for each player.
The board is placed to one side between the two players, and each player takes two pegs of the same color. The pegs are placed in the game holes until the game begins. Each time a player scores, they advance a peg along a row on their side of the board, counting one hole per point. Two pegs are used, and the rearmost peg jumps over the first peg to show the first increment in score.
After another increase in score, the peg behind jumps over the peg in front to the appropriate hole to show the player's new score, and so on see diagram next page. The custom is to "go down" away from the game holes on the outer rows and "come up" on the inner rows.
A game of 61 is "once around" and a game of is "twice around. If a Cribbage board is not available, each player may use a piece of paper or cardboard, marked thus:. Two small markers, such as small coins or buttons, can substitute for pegs for counting in each row. The Crib. Conversely, for the non-dealer, it is best to lay out cards that will be the least advantageous for the dealer.
Laying out a five would be the worst choice, for the dealer could use it to make 15 with any one of the ten-cards 10, J, Q, K. Laying out a pair is usually a poor choice too, and the same goes for sequential cards, such as putting both a six and seven in the crib. The ace and king tend to be good cards to put in the crib because it is harder to use them in a run. George Beltz November 5, at pm. Log in to Reply. Add Comment Cancel reply.

Scoring runs of three and four question. Each player grabs two pegs that are the same color. Every time a player scores, they move a peg along their side of the board. Pegs jump each other to demonstrate the increment of the points gained between turns. Using a shuffled deck, each player cuts a single card, leaving a minimum if four cards at the end of the deck.
If two players draw cards of equal rank they must draw again. The player who has the lowest cut card deals first. The deal alternates after the first hand.
However, when starting a new game the loser of the previous one is the first dealer. The dealer shuffles the cards last and lets a non-dealer cut the deck before dealing. After, the dealer passes each player 6 cards face-down, starting with their opponent or the player to their left. The top card of the lower part of the deck is placed on top. This is the starter card. This card is not used in Cribbage play but is used rather later when players make card combinations.
After the starter was flipped, the nondealer plays a single card on the table, face-up. Then the dealer follows, revealing a card.
