Welcome to Kings Cribbage, an unusually effective blending of the age- old pasteboards-and-pegboard card game, with the crossword grid strategy of Scrabble. Players take turns building crib hands of two to five hardwood tiles, each bearing playing card rank--deuce through ace. As in Scrabble, players are allowed to add tiles from their rack to the ends of, or perpendicular to, existing plays on the rotating board. The scoring is virtually identical to cribbage--runs, pairs, 15s--with bonus points awarded to any player who can fashion a crib hand with tiles all the same color. With its deluxe, two-toned hardwood equipment (though the board is fashioned from less-than-regal plastic) and illustrated English/French rules, Kings Cribbage is a crowning achievement in challenging play. --Tony Mason
Product description
Take Cribbage and Scrabble, shake well, and you will have Kings Cribbage. The tiles correspond to a standard deck of cards except that there are only two suits (dark brown and light brown). You place the tiles on the board a la Scrabble and try to form the highest Cribbage hand possible. All tiles that are placed must score. Scores are as standard Cribbage for the most part and as in Scrabble you may score in multiple rows and or columns at the same time. No more then 5 tiles may be placed consecutively.
