Scoring
The starter
The player on the dealer's left cuts the undealt portion of the deck (leaving at least 4 cards), and the dealer reveals the top card, called the 'starter' or the 'cut', placing it on top of the deck face up. (It is illegal to peek at any other cards in the deck during this process.) If this card is a Jack, the dealer scores two points for 'his heels', also known as 'his nibs', or simply 'nibs'. The game can end on a cut of a Jack for the dealer.
The play (Pegging)
In addition to scoring one or two points for the last card, players score points according to the following rules:
- fifteen-twos
- two points for a cumulative total of exactly fifteen ('fifteen two')
- runs
- three points for completing a run of three cards, regardless of the order in which they are laid (a 6, then a 4, then a 5 is a run of three even though they were not laid in order)
- four points for completing a run of four
- five points for completing a run of five
- six points for completing a run of six
- seven points for completing the run of seven; e.g. playing 2, 4, 6, A, 3, 5 and 7
- pairs
- two points for laying a card of the same rank as the previous card, thus completing a pair
- six points for laying a third card of the same rank (a 'pair royal' or 'trips')
- twelve points for laying a fourth card of the same rank (a 'double pair royal' or 'quad')
The show
Once the play is complete, each player in turn receives points based on the content of their hand. Starting with the player on the dealer's left, players spread out their cards on the playing surface and calculate their score based on these four cards and the starter card:
- fifteen-twos
- two points for each separate combination of two or more cards totalling exactly fifteen
- runs
- three points for a run of three consecutive cards (regardless of suit)
- four points for completing a run of four
- five points for completing a run of five
- pairs
- two points for a pair of cards of a kind
- six points for three cards of a kind (known as a 'pair royal', comprising three distinct pairs)
- twelve points for four cards of a kind (a 'double pair royal', comprising six distinct pairs)
- flush
- four points for a flush, where all four cards in the hand are of the same suit, with an additional point if the starter card is also of that suit.
- one point for holding the Jack of the same suit as the starter card ('one for his nob' or '... his nobs' )
- unlike the dealer's own hand, the crib cannot score a four-card flush, but it can score a five-card flush with the starter.

President's Column
By David Campbell - from Cribbage World, March 2019
The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up. —Mark Twain
Each year in February or March, Lana and I take a trip to Florida to temporarily escape the cold and snow. This year was no different, so during the second week of February we headed to Orlando to check out Epcot and play some cribbage. We arrived on a Wednesday and planned to go to Epcot on Thursday and find something else to do on Friday before the tournaments started on Saturday.
Normally, we arrive at Epcot near opening and stay the entire day to see the fireworks at night. This year we arrived at opening like always, but after eating the buffet in Germany (to get ideas for Oktoberfest, the theme of this year's Grand National in North Conway NH in October) and walking over eight miles we decided to call it a day just after 6p.
For the next few days my legs and other parts of my body felt the pain of my decision to wear sandals to Epcot. So, the plan of doing something else fun on Friday vanished.
Saturday morning, we arrived at the tournament and saw the usual Floridians and other people who decided a warm break would be nice in the middle of February. We started playing, and on my table was a woman I didn’t know. At lunch I had the opportunity to talk to her and found out her name was Julie Mayo and she was from Gorham, Maine. Gorham is a couple towns away from where I live, and as it turned out I was very good friends in high school with the son of one of her very good friends.

This was her first tournament ever, and the only reason she played was because yearly she came to Florida to visit a friend. But this year her friend had already signed up for the tourney, so Julie decided to play also.

What happened on Saturday was a wonderful sight. People were kind and very helpful to Julie throughout the day. I must admit that after talking to her it would be tough not to be nice to such a sweet woman. I am proud seeing what a great organization we were all lucky enough to join.
