Below you have some ideas, not the complete sets of rules. Think creatively.
DOUBLE CROSS CRIBB
- all the rules for Cross Cribb apply
-game is played on two separate layouts (just two games at the same time)
-there is no cribb
-after all 50 cards are ditributed to two layouts 2 cards will be left.
-first player places one remainung card on top of any card on chosen layout
-second player (he/she has no choice) places the last card on the other layout.
-this variant is for 2 players, please accomodate your game for more players (use your imagination)
COVERED CROSS CRIBB
- all the rules for Cross Cribb apply
-after the first game is over (first round if you wish) players continue with the second round.
-they place card after card on the cards already on the table, scoring accordingly.
-there is no limit how many cards can be used to cover card(s) already on the table.
-there is no cribb
-game continue untill all the 52 cards are used.
SCORE ALL CROSS CRIBB
-players score points both in rows and columns
-simply if there is something to score, either in column or a row, they score it both directions
-add 2 diagonals hands to make it more interesting
-use this idea for basic game or combine with the ideas above
SMALL CROSS CRIBBS
-based on 4x4 cribbage solitaire (plus starter)
-play 3 layouts at the same time
-draw 3 cards to your hand and decide how to place them on 3 layouts to your advantage.
-after all 48 cards are ditributed to layouts uncover 3 starters, one at a time, each for separate layout.
-count points
***
its a very strategic game, try it as a solitaire. having 3 cards and 3 layouts makes it a beautiful game.
RESERVED CROSS CRIB
-all the rules apply
-if you draw a card that for some reason you wouldn't like to place on the board (or dump into cribb)
move it to the reserve and use it later and draw another card from the deck. But reserve card MUST be used during the game (it's not a dump card)
-experiment with 1,2, or 3 reserve cards ...
-this makes the game even more strategic.
COSTLY DUMP CROSS CRIBB
-all the rules apply
-during the game you may dump as many cards as you want and draw another one instead ... BUT it will cost you 1 point for the first card dumped, 2 points for the second one, 4 for the third card, 8 for the fourth card and so on, always doubling the penalty ... I do not know if you would like to go for more than 4 dumps ? Would you ?
I have a wooden board in a circle
ReplyDeletedivided into 24 spaces of 5 around the circle. there is a S for I assume start.Two players go around this circle. At 12, 3,6 and 9 o'clock there is a black section which includes a five section plus two of another and it is called "fair play". The Circle is marked off with black lines interesting at a hole in the center. There is a black diamond on the outside circle and 5 black dots to the center - no holes. In one of these quadrants there is an upside down L shape with 10 hole down the long side and one hole on the shot side This is referred to as "crosses". In another quadrant it has a right angle triangle with 20 holes and one in the centre. On one side of the triangle it has 5 holes and the word "games" and on the other side it has the word "laps". These things are repeated in the opposite quadrants. and it is called DOUBLE CROSS CRIB. Do you have any idea about this and do you have any instructions if you do know what it is. I would appreciate what you might be able to tell me. It is a nice board made of maple with plexi glass on top.
