Kodiac CNC - Billet Aluminum Cribbage Board - How To Play Cribbage

Cribbage is a two-player card game that is played with a standard deck of 52 playing cards. The objective of the game is to be the first player to reach 121 points. Here is a basic rundown of how to play Cribbage:

  • The deck is shuffled, and each player is dealt six cards.

  • The players then choose two cards to discard into a shared area called the "crib." The crib is scored by the dealer at the end of the hand.

  • The next step is the "play" phase, where the players take turns laying down cards and scoring points. Points are scored by forming combinations of cards that add up to 15 or by runs of three or more cards of the same suit.

  • After both players have laid down all of their cards, the dealer scores the crib. Points can be scored by combinations of cards that add up to 15 or by runs of three or more cards of the same suit.

  • The game continues until one player reaches 121 points. Points are tracked using a Cribbage board with pegs, which are moved along a track as the game progresses.

These are the basic rules for playing Cribbage. There are many more advanced strategies and rules that can be learned as you become more familiar with the game. Good luck and have fun!
