Players will use their four cards plus the cut card to produce the best cribbage Player counts first in the totaling of hands also. Player cuts deck for dealer (jack = 2 points) and player starts the count. Players use the skunk line as the starting point, only the last 31 points are used. The dealer then deals four cards to each player (there is no crib in this game). It starts by a cut of the deck to determine who deals first (lowest card). Game lasts too long if to 120 points."Ĭontributed by Dave and Jeff ( to 4 players can play this game. Writes: "Whoever gets to 60 points first loses. You'll quickly find that trying to get 0 points in your hand is a lot harder than it sounds, and even more difficult in the crib! This game is especially dangerous with four players - nothing like a 20 point crib to ruin your game." Writes: "In this version, the first person to get 121 points is the loser. The game is loads of fun and lasts for hours!! Enjoy!" Basically the object of the game is to create the most horrendous hands and to give the CRIB (or CADDY) your best cards to outwit your opponent.


If the loser is skunked then they will recieve 2 points, double skunked is 4 points. On Losing Cribbage, Dave and Jeff ( write: "The basic rules are the exact same as NORMAL cribbage with one TWIST. These are all essentially the same: players try to avoid points instead of trying to score points. Losing Cribbage / Backwards Cribbage / Lowball You know, it's the nineties, and everything, including the games are all speeded up. Anyway, our own Speedo variation we've found to be eminently playable and fast.That's the only way we ever play anymore, since the original way seems so slow and tedious. I can look at ALL my cards, until I pass (even one point over)the skunk line, and put away the 4 in the crib I choose, of course it still holds that if you wish to count a straight in scoring you need to keep the straight IN your hand, because of course, it doesn't count if it's in the crib. Works quite nicely.ĭo you mean that the non-dealer gives the dealer two cards, and then the dealer discards any four from eight?

So we sort of play a bit differently as we approach the skunk line, hoping not to pass it on that turn, at least, so we can have one more look at the full cards. (If the other player has not passed the skunk line he/she may still see examine the cards passed to them). But the catch is that once any player pegs PAST the skunk line, they may not look at their crib at all. This rule, as it applies to both players lets the game progress very fast. The large variety of debris cards and variety of special card effects will force players to make difficult decisions every round.Contributed by Maria Thomas ( Cribbage: which is played normally (in 2 handed only) and the personally invented variation we always use is that players can inspect the cards passed to them for their crib and choose the best scoring cards to discard (to the crib). Black Hole Buccaneers is a full of dynamic card play and lots of player interaction. After three rounds, the player who best navigated the dangers of outer space while also collecting the most valuable items will win. Whoever manages to escape the black hole in the scoring phase of a round gets to score their collected items and thus moves a little closer to victory. In exchange, these extraterrestrial beings offer help to escape from the black holes into which players will be drawn if they collect too much space debris. Among the items to be found are artifacts and relics that have powerful effects, as well as toys that are not particularly valuable in the year 2642, but are in great demand by other species. In this fast-playing card drafting game, players must collect treasures from the orbit of black holes, which were dumped there hundreds of years ago as mankind's garbage. Great adventure, fame, and untold riches - all this is waiting for the Black Hole Buccaneers.
