Kings Cribbage (1997)

About this game

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 than 5 tiles may be placed consecutively.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.9/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
