Cribbage has been described, somewhat tongue-in-cheekily, as cross between a board game and a card game, it being supposedly a race game played on a track of 61, 121 or 181 holes from ‘start’ to ‘home’ and using cards as the mechanism of movement. This conceit is easily refuted by noting that you can dispense with the board and score with pencil and paper (not that any serious player would stoop so low), while cards themselves are indispensable.
I won’t outline the rules here, as there are so many more interesting things to talk about, but, if you really never played, the illustrated description at http://bit. ly/3VCId1D looks pretty good.
