About this game

Nearly 400 years old and still on tables worldwide, Cribbage is the card game that refuses to die. The distinctive pegging board tracks scores as you form combinations of cards that total fifteen, make runs, and collect pairs. The crib, a shared bonus hand, adds a layer of calculated generosity: what you discard helps someone. Simple to learn, fiendishly deep to master, and perfect with a drink in hand.
