The goal of Cribbage is to score 121 points before your opponent by creating different card combinations. To play Cribbage, you'll need a Cribbage board, pegs, and a deck of cards. If you play the last card for the round, gain 1 point.For example, if you played a 4 on your turn and your opponent played a 2 on their turn, you could play a 3 to earn 3 points.
If the card you play completes a sequential run of cards, earn 1 point for each card in the run, no matter what order the cards were played in.If you are able to play the 4th card of the same value, you move forward 12 points! If your opponent has another matching card, they’ll earn 6 points. If you make a pair by matching the last card your opponent played, get 2 points.If the last card played makes the total count 31, score 2 points.When a played card brings the count exactly to 15, score 2 points.That way, players can see the last amount that you scored.
Whenever you score points, take the peg of your color that’s furthest back and move it ahead of the one that’s in front. Watch what cards your opponent plays and pay attention to the count to get extra “pegging” points.
