Hi, I received a wonderful new board for xmas, but it didn't have the skunk decals or then number decals. Anyone know where I could find these?
My friends and I have been looking for the strategy cribbage board for sometime. We almost wore out a second one. This board makes for a far superior contest with the extra possibilities moving ahead or reversing your progress depending where you land.
If anyone knows where this board may be purchased I am looking to purchase two of them.
Because the dealer may be holding cards that get eaten up during pegging especially if they are low cards, they might not peg one point. Say the dealer holds A, 2, 2, 3.
The play goes like this 10, 10, 6 then dealer plays a 2 and another player plays a 3 for 31. The dealer in 4-handed is not guaranteed to be holding the last card and they don't have to peg one point.
That hand is worth 20. Four combinations of 15 and 12 points for the quads.
How many points for a 2-2-2-2-9?
How many points for a 2-2-2-2-9?
The odds of getting a 28 hand in a two-player game are 1 in 15,028.
The odds of getting a perfect 29 hand in a two-player game are 1 in 216,580.
The odds of getting a perfect 29 hand in a three- or four-player game are 1 in 649,740.
What that does not do though is give you the odds of getting that hand in your crib, which is much higher, because unlike the deal, all the players have to make an effort to place those cards into the crib to get the 28 or 29 hand.
In two-player cribbage, there are 12,994,800 possible hands in Cribbage.
Out of those almost 13,000,000 possible hands you will get 4 of them as a 29 hand or roughly one in every 3.25 million hands. Most people play cribbage for a lifetime and never see one that they can score.
I have never even heard of one in a crib, let alone one in a doubles or 4-person crib. I am not even sure how you could calculate it (even though it is possible) three of the people have to throw a 5 into the crib and another the correct Jack and then have a 5 cut. Let me look into it more and get back to you later. Great question though!
It does not matter what order cards are played to form a run while pegging, only when played that they do form a run. For instance, if the play goes like this, A, 6, 2, 5, 4, 7 and then a player plays a 3 they get a run for 7! Even though there was no other scoring done before that! Happy Pegging!
Since your comment was down at the bottom of a lot of questions, I am unsure of how to help you. Please send the question in again and I would be happy to answer it. Happy Peggings!
But you said you don't want to play online like at ecribbage.com...so you want to play her while both of you sit in front of the same computer? Don't think that anything is out there for you, but maybe someday. Meanwhile pick up a deck of cards and a cheap cribbage board and get away from the computer for awhile. You might even get to talk about a few things while you do. Happy Pegging!
My guess is that the program was showing you a total of 39 points pegged in a single game, not in a single hand. If it did show it for a single hand, then it was wrong. (Unless you are playing a variation with jokers) The most you could score in a regular single hand for pegging would be 30 points with you as the dealer and both you and opponent have exactly the same cards. Say 5, 5, 7, 7. He leads a 7 and you pair for two, get 12 for the quads and one for a go for 15. Same with the fives. Equals 30 points.
The "Starter Card", aka the community cut card is cut by the player to the dealer's left. Whether you play with two, three or four people, the cut before the hand is dealt is done by the player to the dealer's right, and the starter card cut by the player on their left.
As stated in some earlier posts, you can only use the same EXACT cards once in any combination to score points. Ignoring the five that you discussed, if you are only using the 6, 4, 4, A to score your hand you would have a 15-2 and a pair for a total of four points. You cannot rearrange the cards to take additional points, because you are just using the same exact cards as your original scoring. Hope that helps and keep pegging!
OK, here goes. During a recent game, I ended up with a 6, both a 4 of clubs and spades, and an ace. The crib was a 5; although that's not really the issue.
My belief in counting is that I could utilize the 6 and 4 of clubs to total 10 then add the 4 of spades and ace to total 15. And then tally the 6 and 4 of spades to total 10 then add the 4 of clubs and ace to total 15 for a point combination of 4. My opponent believesn that I can only count the noted four card combination once, notwithstanding in what numerical order I utilize either of the 4's. Basically, is there one total 15 to count here or two? Please assist. Thanks.

Thanks for your template! With one week left before Christmas, I'm opening up my Tech Ed lab for students to make gifts for their families. The closing of GM in our town (Janesville, WI) in 2008 has left 50% of our student population at or below the poverty level. If anyone has more ideas for small woods projects we can quickly craft (I have a small woods shop in our lab), I will appreciate hearing them. rita@mastermindtech.net
Muggins. You claim 10 points that your opponent didn't count in their hand.
Did you make this and if so could you reconfigure it to work for a 7 card hand? If not could you direct me to who did? Thank you. Sincerely Cory.K
I have the exact same question can som eone pls answer, it is a huge family dispute
what order
the lady is right only 1-15 3runs of 3 and 6for the 5s
Reaching 31 exactly always gives you two points and only two points. (technically, one for reaching 31 and one for the Go, but it is still only two points.)
if you get 31 you dont get a point for the go still just 2 for 31
Yes, you can use all cards to combine to make combinations of 15...but if you use the exact same cards....you can only do it once. The score on your hand is 8. 15-2, 15-4, 15-6 and a pair for eight.
