If your board came with three pegs per player, the board will also have a game counter track where each player can keep track of how many games they have won. Second, it gives your opponents the opportunity to “check your work” and make sure scoring is on the up and up. Firstly, cribbage board peg holes are small and if you miscount it is easy to start over from the previous front peg. This allows for there always to be a back peg sitting in the last point total. When ever you score points in the game you take the back peg and move it ahead of the front peg the number of points you scored.
Most boards will come with at least two pegs per player, sometimes three.Įach player uses two pegs to track their in-game score. When you first get your cribbage board, you will notice pegs of different color.
