One has 65 holes and is used to keep score of players hands in each individual round. NOTE: The board has two spots for pegging. Your goal is to create the best-scoring cribbage hands possible in your five columns (or rows), while simultaneously blocking your opponent's scoring opportunities in their rows (or columns). Players will use their pile of dealt cards to build five high-scoring cribbage hands on the playing board (runs, pairs, 15’s etc.) But be careful! Your opponent is trying to do the same, in the rows (or columns) perpendicular to yours. One player (or team) will use their cards to make high scoring cribbage hands using the columns of the board while the other player (or team) will use their cards to create high scoring hands using the rows perpendicular to the columns on the board. The object of cross crib is to score (peg) 31 points before your opponent.
Cross crib is a fun, strategic alternative to cribbage, where players use the board to build high scoring cribbage hands instead of in a ”crib” or the cards in your hand.
