Runs do not necessarily have to be played in order. If either player forms a run of 3 or more, they get to claim that many points as well. A triple pair is worth 6 points, and a quadruple pair is worth 12 points. If the player forms a pair, they get 2 points. If the sum is equal to 15 or 31, that player gets 2 points. Players take turns playing their cards one at a time and announcing the total sum of the cards. If a jack is cut for the cut card, the player with the crib immediately gets 2 points. Then a community card is cut that will play for both hands in the show. Players are dealt 6 cards each, and both have to discard 2 cards into the crib. The players cut to see who gets the first “crib”. The third peg is used to indicate the number of wins of a series of games. This helps the players see at a glance the amount of awarded point. They leapfrog over each other indicating the current score and last noted score. Playing online Cribbage with real players at Įach colored Cribbage peg set represents a player.
