Synopsis

Always wanted to learn Cribbage, with its little pegging board and clever scoring? This friendly, picture-filled guide gets you playing with confidence, one easy step at a time.



Cribbage is one of the great card games: a quick, sociable, two-player classic played for over three hundred years, famous for its wooden peg board and its knack for finding points in surprising places. This book teaches it from absolute zero, in plain language, with clear colour diagrams on every key idea. No experience needed.



Inside, you will learn:

• How the pegging board works and how to keep score on it


• The deal, and the crib that gives the game its name


• The cut and the starter card (and the quick bonus called "his heels")


• The play: pegging to 31 and scoring as you go


• The show: counting your hand in the right order


• Every way to score: fifteens, pairs, runs, flushes, and "his nobs"


• A simple counting method so you never miss a point


• The legendary 29 hand, explained


• A full hand played out, step by step, so it all clicks
