GameColony.com spokesman commented, " Cribbage is a very interesting and engaging game for all card players. With a relatively simple set of rules, cribbage requires such skills as strategy and accurate calculation of card combinations and points. And yet winning in cribbage requires continuous focus and concentration till the very end of this excellent game. "

From a strategy standpoint, a 5-card cribbage variation differs from the 6-card variation: a 5-card cribbage is a faster game where a crib is worth more and the practical value of various card combinations becomes different. Together with the 6-card cribbage, a 5-card cribbage is becoming popular with amateur and professional card players alike.
