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. Old Maid Learn the classic kid-and family-favorite card game that turns queens into old maids.

Texas Hold'em Poker. Hand and Foot. Should either player manage to take the total to exactly 31, that player pegs 2 points instead of 1, saying "Two for thirty-one".
Then the cards already played are turned over and the player who did not lay the last card starts a new play. When one player's cards are exhausted, the other player continues alone. The last card played scores 1 "for last" unless the amount is 31 in which case 2 points are scored. During the play, the following events are scored and the appropriate amounts are immediately recorded on the cribbage board. If anyone lays down a card which brings the total to 15, 2 points are scored. If anyone lays down a card of the same type as the previous one, 2 points are scored "2 for a pair".
In this context, the numerical value is not used so, for instance, a Jack cannot be paired with a Queen. If anyone lays down a third card of the same type, 6 points are scored "6 for a pair royal". If anyone lays down a fourth card of the same type, 12 points are scored "12 for a double pair royal".
If anyone lays down a card such that with the two preceding cards, a run can be scored, 3 points are scored. The cards do not have to be of the same suit nor do they have to have been laid in sequential order. Aces count low so Queen, King, Ace is not a run. Similarly, if anyone lays a card such that with the three or more preceding cards, a run can be constructed, the number of cards which would make up that run are scored.
The fourth card would score 3 points, the fifth card would score five points. The Show Each player then counts the score of the four cards in his hand plus the turned up card. The non-dealer shows first and this is important because it can often make the difference between winning and losing. Fifteen - All combinations of cards that add up to fifteen count 2 points.
A pair, a pair royal or a double pair royal - count 2, 6 or 12 respectively. A run - A point for each card in a run. A flush - Four or five cards of the same suit. A point is scored for each card. A 4 point flush can only be scored using cards from the hand. The turned up card can ONLY be used in a five card flush. Note that flushes do not count in the play.
One for his nob - a jack of the same suit as the turned up card. This is always scored last so that the score is tallied by finishing with the satisfying phrase "and one for his nob". The highest possible score in the show is 29 points - 3 fives and a Jack in the hand with the turned up card another five of the same suit as the held Jack.
The Crib Finally, the dealer counts the score of the cards in the crib plus the turned up card and adds these points to his total. Scoring is done in exactly the same way as for the show except that a crib can only score a flush if all five cards are of the same suit for five points.
Explanation of Six Card Cribbage by Example Example of The Play The number shows the card laid down while the text shows what would be said while laying down the card.
The score for that turn is also indicated. While totting up this hand, the player would say something like "Four fifteens for eight, two for a pair is ten and two runs for six is sixteen". It's common and perfectly acceptable for beginners to display the various combinations as they mention them; old hands normally wouldn't bother since immediately the hand is shown, the score would be known to all.
While totting up this score, the player would say something akin to "Two pairs for four, four runs for twelve and one for his nob is seventeen". Total score The player would say something not disimilar to "Five for a run, four for a flush and two for fifteen is eleven".

In match play, this is the equivalent of losing 2 games. For scoring purposes, remember that the non-dealer counts their hand first. If they reach , the dealer can not count their points to try to avoid being skunked. He says that you have to have the exact number to peg out and win! You can peg out or count out. However, I have seen variations that require you to peg out if you are in the next to last hole.
