Questions people ask
How many points do you need to win cribbage?
121 in the standard game (twice around a standard board). A short game to 61 is common, especially with five-card cribbage.
What is a skunk in cribbage?
Winning before the loser reaches 91. Many players count it as two games. Some tables also play a double skunk (loser under 61) worth more again.
Who counts first in cribbage?
The non-dealer (pone) counts first, then the dealer's hand, then the dealer's crib. Pone can win by counting out before the dealer counts.
