Each five-card hand is scored according to the following criteria:. Face cards Jack, Queen, and King have weights of 10, and all other cards have weights matching their pip counts. A four-card flush occurs when all of the cards in a player's hand are the same suit and the start card is a different suit.
In the crib, a four-card flush scores no points. A five-card flush occurs when all of the cards in a player's hand or crib and the start card are the same suit. A run is a sequence of three or more cards with consecutive rank.
If both players cut cards of the same rank, each draws again. The player with the lower card deals the first hand. Thereafter, the turn to deal alternates between the two players, except that the loser of the game deals first if another game is played. The dealer has the right to shuffle last, and presents the cards to the non-dealer for the cut prior to the deal.
In some games, there is no cut at this time. The goal is to be the first player to score points. Some games are to 61 points. Players earn points during play and for making various card combinations. The Crib Each player looks at their six cards and "lays away" two of them face down to reduce the hand to four.
The four cards laid away together constitute "the crib". The crib belongs to the dealer, but these cards are not exposed or used until after the hands have been played. After the crib is laid away, the non-dealer cuts the pack.
The dealer turns up the top card of the lower packet and places it face up on top of the pack. This card is the "starter.
The starter is not used in the play phase of Cribbage , but is used later for making various card combinations that score points. After the starter is turned, the non-dealer lays one of their cards face up on the table. The dealer similarly exposes a card, then non-dealer again, and so on - the hands are exposed card by card, alternately except for a "Go," as noted below. Each player keeps their cards separate from those of their opponent.
As each person plays, they announce a running total of pips reached by the addition of the last card to all those previously played. Example: The non-dealer begins with a four, saying "Four. The kings, queens and jacks count 10 each; every other card counts its pip value the ace counts one. During play, the running total of cards may never be carried beyond If a player cannot add another card without exceeding 31, he or she says "Go" and the opponent pegs 1.
After gaining the Go, the opponent must first lay down any additional cards he can without exceeding Besides the point for Go, he may then score any additional points that can be made through pairs and runs described later. If a player reaches exactly 31, he pegs two instead of one for Go. The player who called Go leads for the next series of plays, with the count starting at zero.
The lead may not be combined with any cards previously played to form a scoring combination; the Go has interrupted the sequence. The person who plays the last card pegs one for Go, plus one extra if the card brings the count to exactly The dealer is sure to peg at least one point in every hand, for he will have a Go on the last card if not earlier.
The first is with quads and singleton, such that two of the quads and the singleton total fifteen for example: , , , A.
And other way is where there are quadruple runs of three, two pairs, and combinations of these add up to fifteen : , , , , Scores of 22 and 23 are achievable through a pair royal of Fives and a pair of tens counts to give seven lots of fifteen. To obtain 23 instead of 22 requires "his nibs". Similarly 20 and 21 point hands differ only by the inclusion of "his nibs". Again there are multiple approaches.
A double pair royal with a singleton such that three of quads and the singleton add up to fifteen : , , A double pair royal of Fives with the remaining card not contributing to the score: A, , , , , , , Next there are the class of cards using runs.
First the quadruple runs of three: , , , , , It's also possible to have a double run of four with a four point flush : , , , , If a player has four Aces in his hand, there is no possible turn-up card that could add any points to the 12 points already obtained from the double pair royal. This is the only hand that cannot be improved by any turn card.
The highest possible scoring hand that has a five point flush is 18 points. In addition to the flush , it features "his nibs" , a run of four , and four ways to make fifteen.
