Cribbage Rules

Cribbage needs a 52-card deck, and you win when you reach 121 points first. Play with 6 cards, but 2 of them go into the dealer's "crib" and are counted later. From there, players just alternate putting cards down and counting the total out loud as they go. Hit 15 exactly, or lay down a pair or a run, and those points are yours right away. Сribbage rules can sound a little confusing at first, but you'll pick it up fast.
