A new Take on Cribbage with CrossCribb

CrossCribb® is a strategy game that takes the traditional favorite, cribbage, and multiplies the fun times five. The game uses conventional cribbage scoring rules as you try to build five high scoring cribbage hands while simultaneously sabotaging your opponents’ hands. It’s easy to learn, but difficult to master.

The balance between offensive and defensive card play is devilish. If my opponent has already created a row with 4-5-5-6, playing an 8 into it is a no-brainer. But what if I draw a queen? Do I give him 4 points, or do I risk him drawing a 4, 5 or 6? Tough call– especially since I could place the queen in one of the columns with a 5, scoring points for myself. And if the queen’s the same suit as one of the fives, it becomes an even tougher choice.

The CrossCribb game can be played with one to six players. Durable color  game board, high-quality  card deck, 2 scoring pads, pencil, die and full scoring rules are included. Whether you’re an experienced cribbage player or new to the game, you’ll find CrossCribb is an easy but challenging twist on an old favorite .

If you enjoy the board game you will also enjoy the PC version of CrossCribb. You can play the computer in 3 different levels of difficulty as well as a variety of variations. This is a great way to enhance your CrossCribb skills or learn the basics.
