Cribbage Patience: How to Play

The pack is shuffled on page load, or when clicking the new game links.

Deal six cards to yourself, two cards to your crib. Look at your cards and choose two cards to go into the crib. Then click the top card of the remaining deck.

In subsequent hands the flipped card is the first card of the next deal.

There will be a total of 6 hands followed by 6 cribs and one final hand of 4 cards. A good game is over 90 ponts, and a great game is over 121

The objective is to score a total of over 100

Beware: dragging from the pack and using the deal function does not work, however you can still use the clear functionality.

Score only the hands

• Cards totalling 15 - 2 points each
• Pairs: 2 points, 3 of a kind: 6 points, 4 of a kind: 12 points
• Run of 3: 3 points, run of 4: 4 points, run of 5: 5 points
• Flush 4 card: 4 points, 5 card: 5 points
• Nob, which is when the jack in your hand is the same suit as the flipped card is 1 point, but you get 2 if a jack is flipped card
