The cribbage rules of the jack
The jack gives some extra points when playing cribbage.
When a cribbage player deals the cards and the opponent cuts a jack,
this gives the dealer 2 points. These two points are pegged when the cut
is done and do not count in the hands point at the end of the table
play.
When a player has a jack in his crib or hand, if the cut is of the
same kind it gives the cribbage player a point. This point is counted
with the cribbage hand at the end of the table game.
A player can usually win the game with the 2 points from cutting a jack.
Some will not allow this, depending on the rules used.
   
 = 1 point for jack
This is a hand that gives one point because the jack and the cut are of
the same kind. If you play cribbage think of the jack.
