Welcome to the club

Reach 121 points before your opponent, or 61 once around. Points are pegged on the board as they are scored, and the deal alternates every hand.

  1. Cut for the deal. Each player cuts one card. Low card deals first, with aces low. Matching ranks mean cut again.
  2. Deal six, keep four. The dealer deals six cards each, one at a time. Each player lays two away face down. Those four cards are the dealer’s crib.
  3. Cut for the starter. The non-dealer cuts the deck, leaving at least four cards in each packet, and the dealer turns up the top card of the lower packet as the starter. A jack turned up is two for his heels for the dealer.
  4. The play. Starting with the non-dealer, take turns playing one card and calling the running count. Aces are 1 and face cards 10. The count may not pass 31. If you can’t play, say Go. The last player to lay a card pegs one for go, or two for exactly 31, and the count starts again. Playing the last card of all counts as a go.
  5. The show. The non-dealer counts first, then the dealer, then the crib, each with the starter. Counting order matters: the first to 121 wins, even mid-count. Within each hand, the customary order is fifteens, then runs, then pairs.

Skunks: win while your opponent is still short of 91 (the S line on the board) and it’s a skunk. Short of 61 (SS) is a double skunk. A hand with no points is called a nineteen, since 19 is a total no hand can make.

Muggins: in some localities, if a player claims less than is due, the opponent may say “Muggins” and score the points overlooked. In Muggins games here, you count your own hands and the computer takes points you miss; when it undercounts, you can claim its missed points. Pegging stays automatic.
