Points are scored and pegged during play and by counting the hand after play is finished. Points are recorded by jumping the rear peg ahead of the other by the number of points scored. Each player has two pegs of a color for keeping his own score. A continuous board will have 120 holes for each player. A game of 121 points would be twice around. On a standard board, the pegs are moved down the outer row (30 holes) and back the inner row. The object of cribbage is to be the first to peg 61 or 121 points, depending what is agreed upon. Play with three requires an extra set of holes for keeping score playing with four is done in pairs. All that is required is a standard deck of 52 cards and a cribbage board, with pegs, for keeping score. Cribbage is a card game that can be played with two, three, or four players.
