How to use the pegs and cribbage board
The cribbage game is played with a cribbage board and crib pegs or
cribbage markers. There are different types cribbage boards, but they
are used the same way.
The cribbage board will usually have the points from 1 to 120 on many
lanes and a single 121 hole at the end of these. There is one lane per
player and two cribbage pegs markers for each.
The cribbage pegs are used as a marker for the points on the cribbage board.
One is to mark the new points and the other is for the older points
value.
When adding points on the cribbage board, the player uses the peg
that is behind and put it where the added points brings him. If a
mistake is done, the other marker peg still shows where the last position was.
For example, the blue player is at 81 points. He counts his cribbage hand
and has 3 points. He takes the peg behind the one in position 81 and put
it in the hole marked 84. If the red player missed the peg and is not
sure, he can see the peg still in 81 and add the 3 points to see it's
fine.
