How to play CribSight
Ever regretted your crib toss after you saw the cut? Not in this game. Each round the starter is cut first, face up on the deck — then the cards are dealt.
You pick your discards already knowing the cut, so you know exactly what your four cards will count — and so does your opponent. The dealer still pegs 2 for his heels when a Jack is cut.
After the discards the pegging starts straight away, then the hands and the crib are counted as usual. First to 121 wins.
CribSight strategy tips
- You know exactly what every keep will count, so the decision moves to the crib: what are you giving away, and to whom?
- Your opponent sees the same cut. If a five is turned, expect tens to be held, not thrown.
- With the hand count settled, the pegging is where the edge is. Between two keeps that count the same, take the one that pegs better.
Common questions
Does the dealer still get two for his heels?
Yes. When a Jack is cut the dealer pegs 2, just as in the standard game.
When does the pegging start?
Straight after the discards — the cut has already been made.
