MATERIALS
- A standard 52-card deck

HOW TO PLAY
1
Deal 6 cards to each player (2-player game); each player discards 2 cards into a shared "crib" for the dealer.
2
Players take turns playing cards face up, counting the running total and scoring for reaching totals like 15 or 31.
3
After play, each hand is scored for combinations: pairs, runs, and card combinations adding to 15.
4
The dealer also scores their crib using the discarded cards plus the starter card.
5
The first player to reach 121 points, tracked by moving pegs around the board, wins.
