Scoring and Winning the Game

The top card from the pile will be turned over and placed beside the pile - this card is called the starter card. The player to the left of the dealer will go first, and then play will move clockwise around the table. Each player will take turns playing cards from their hand, trying to make combinations of cards that score points.

The game of cribbage is scored based on the combinations of cards that you make.
