number 11 is a Master Number ... it's not my invention, it's widely known in numerology and astrology ... google for it ... and any multiple of 11 like 22, 33, 44 and so on ... and the most important 11 is "embeded" beautifuly in our cribbage boards ... why ? simply because 11x11 gives our magical 121 ... not only, we have another magical number, it's 29 ... and 2+9=11 ... isn't it beautiful ?
This is why I decided to create another cribbage variant, where 11 plays a major role on our boards.
RULES:
-all the rules apply
- there is a different goal
- our cribbage board is divided into 11 check points ... 11,22,33,44,.... 99,110,121
-whoever jumps FIRST over the check point, collects points for it:
-for the first one(11) 1 point, for the second (22) 2 points, third(33) 3 points and so on for 11th (121) 11 points.
-for hitting exactly any check point, points double. Example: landing on 44 scores 8 points
-player doesn't have to be first who hits exactly a check point in order to score double points.
- this feature allows these players who are behind still participate in the game ... being behind and playing carefully may have some benefits ...
***
After one player goes beyond 121 or hits 121 game stops and whoever has more accumulated points form check points, wins the game.
I think this game changes dramatically tactics and strategy. Pegging during the game is crucial.
To hit or jump ?
Keep pegging.
By the way, Keeppegging=11 letters (isn't it funny ?)
