In this the sixty-one points or holes on the cribbage-board mark the
game. The player cutting the lowest card deals; after which, each
player lays out two of the five cards for the crib, which belongs to
the dealer. The adversary cuts the remainder of the pack, and the
dealer turns up and lays upon the crib the uppermost card, the
turn-up. If it be a knave, he marks two points. The card turned up is
reckoned by both in counting their hands or crib. After laying out,
the eldest hand plays a card, which the other should endeavour to
pair, or find one, the pips of which, reckoned with the first, will
make fifteen; then the non-dealer plays another card, and so on
alternately, until the pips on the cards played make thirty-one, or
the nearest possible number under that.
