Cribbage Rules Run Of 5
Object
- Outscore your opponent by making or extending Crib Hands with the tiles.
(The concept of the game is similar to using tiles to create words in a word game.) - A Crib Hand is a row of 2 to 5 tiles that combine to form cribbage points (runs, pairs and/or fifteens).
A run, or cards that are in numerical order, are scored based on how many cards are in each run. For example, if you have cards 5, 6, and 7, that is 3 points, or a triple run. If you have cards 2 and 3, that’s 2 points, or a double run. Remember to use the starter card to make runs for extra points. 3-3-4-5 For 3-3-4-5 with a 5 as the starter card, you have no less than four different runs, two pairs, and two ways to make 15 points — for a grand total of 20 points! You score the crib hand in exactly the same way as your own hand, except for the restriction on four-card flushes.
Start
- Low draw plays first. (Keep score with a pen and paper.)
- Without peeking, all players draw 5 tiles from the bag and place them on their tile holder.
- The first person to play forms a Crib Hand using 2,3,4 or 5 of their tiles, then positions them in a straight line, next to each other, anywhere on the board.
- Each turn is complete once a player records their score and replenishes their tile stock to 5.
- All plays after the first must merge with the tiles already on the board to create or extend Crib Hands.
Rules
- No play (Crib Hand) may exceed 5 tiles. (See example 6.)
- Played tiles must be in a straight line.
- Diagonal playing or scoring is never allowed.
- Every tile played must contribute points toward a Crib Hand.
- Runs do not need to be in sequence. (see examples)
- All plays, after the first, must consist of 1 to 5 tiles.
- Face tiles are valued at 10 when making 'fifteens'.
- Aces are valued at 1 when making 'fifteens' or 'runs'.
- 6's can be turned around and played as 9's or vice versa, but once they are on the board their value is set.
- If no play is possible, player misses a turn and can exchange from 1 to 5 of their tiles with those in the bag.
END GAME
When no tiles are left in the bag, the game ends immediately if one player runs out of tiles or no play is possible by any player. Leftover tiles are deducted from each player's score at face value. (Face tiles = 10, Aces = 1)

OPTIONAL RULES
SERVANT
The player with the lowest score after each round is called the 'Servant' and he or she must keep score for the other players. This rule creates additional amusement as it becomes a status symbol not to become the Servant.
JOKER
The first player to shout 'Joker' if they spot points unclaimed by their opponent (after their score is recorded), may claim those points. Should the shouter yell out before the points are recorded or if there are no missed points, the shouter becomes the Joker and 5 points are deducted from his or her score.
SOLITAIRE
Separate the dark & light tiles then play them against each other using the standard rules.

Needed
52 card deck; cribbage board
Deal
Deal three cards to yourself, two cards to a crib, and three more cards to yourself. You will look at your six card hand and choose two cards to discard into the crib. A crib is just a second hand that you will score for after your initial hand.
What Is A Run Of 5 In Cribbage
Once you have discarded two cards, the top card of the remaining deck is flipped up. If a jack is flipped up from the deck, you receive two points.
Objective
The object of the game is to score as many points as possible going through the deck one time. Points are scored through different card combinations.
Cards combining to equal 15 = 2 points each
Pairs; 3 of a kind; 4 of a kind = 2 points each; 6 points; 12 points
Run of 3; 4; or 5 = 3 points; 4 points; or 5 points
Flush (all the same suit) 4 card; 5 card = 4 points; 5 points

Nobs (a Jack in your hand is the same suit as the flipped up card) = 1 point
Game Play
A player will start by counting the points in the initial hand. After the hand gets counted, the crib gets counted.
The hand and crib cards are discarded. The flipped up card on the deck is moved to the bottom of the deck. A new deal of three cards, two cards, and three cards is made, and play proceeds the same as the previous hand and crib.
After six hands and cribs, there will be four cards left in the deck. These four cards make up a player’s last hand. These final four cards are scored to end the game.
