Cross-Cribbage is a strategic card game that combines elements of traditional Cribbage with a grid-based placement system. Players take turns placing cards on a 5x5 grid to create scoring combinations.
• Each player receives 14 cards from a standard 52-card deck.
• A cut card is placed in the center of the 5x5 grid.
• Each player must donate 2 cards to the "crib" which belongs to the dealer.
• Players take turns placing one card at a time on the grid.
• Cards can only be placed on empty spaces.
• The goal is to create scoring combinations in rows, columns, and diagonals.
• After all cards are placed, scores are calculated.
• Pairs: 2 points
• Three of a kind: 6 points
• Four of a kind: 12 points
• Run of 3: 3 points
• Run of 4: 4 points
• Run of 5: 5 points
• Flush (all same suit): 5 points
• 15s (cards adding to 15): 2 points
