Cribbage

This is a new group being set up to start meeting in the Autumn.

Cribbage, or crib, is a card game traditionally for two players, that involves playing and grouping cards in combinations which gain points. It can be adapted for three or four players.

A cribbage board is used for score-keeping and a unique scoring system, including points for groups of cards that total 15. The game has relatively few rules yet many subtleties, which accounts for its ongoing appeal and popularity. Tactical play varies, depending on which cards one's opponent has played, how many cards in the remaining pack will help the hand one holds, and what is one's position on the board A game may be decided by a single point, and the edge often goes to a player who utilises strategy, including calculating odds and making decisions based on the relative positions of players on the board.
