Not only are they learning a game which will provide immeasurable enjoyment for the rest of their lives, they are also enhancing valuable educational skills such as mathematics, critical thinking, and cooperative learning.

Playing the Hand (Pegging Phase)

Pegging is the heart of Cribbage and where strategy shines. Players take turns playing cards, aiming to make 15s, pairs, runs, and other combos. Points are scored instantly with each move, so quick math and good memory help. This phase is fast-paced, fun, and full of scoring opportunities.

Counting Your Hand and the Crib

After all cards are played, each player counts the points in their hand. You’ll learn how to spot and calculate scoring combinations using the starter card. Then, the dealer counts the crib separately for additional points. Scoring accurately is crucial for moving ahead and winning the game.

Winning the Game

To win Cribbage, you need to be the first to reach 121 points. We’ll explain how to track your score using pegs and the Cribbage board. This section also covers special win scenarios like “skunking” your opponent. End with confidence, knowing exactly how to clinch victory.
