Cribbage: Cards Only – No Dice, No Question Cards

Cribbage uses only a standard 52-card deck and a cribbage board (pegs). No dice, no question cards, no special decks.

Core Flow

1. Deal: 6 cards each (2-player). Each discards 2 to the Crib (dealer's bonus hand).
2. Starter: Non-dealer cuts; top card = "Starter" (used in scoring).
3. Play (Pegging): Alternate playing cards, cumulative total ≤ 31. Score for 15s, pairs, runs, 31, "Go."
4. Show: Score each hand + Crib using Starter: 15s (2 pts), pairs (2), runs (1/pt), flush (4/5), nobs (Jack of Starter suit = 1).
5. Repeat: Deal passes; first to 121 wins.

Why No Dice/Questions?

Cribbage is a perfect-information scoring game – skill comes from discard strategy, pegging tactics, and board position. Randomness only from shuffle.
