What is the most points you can peg in Cribbage?

The highest possible cribbage hand score is 29 points — three Fives and a Jack in hand with the starter card (or cut card) being a Five of the same suit as the Jack – for "One For His Nobs".

Is it possible to get a 19 point hand in cribbage?

It is impossible to get point scores of 27, 26, 25 and 19 for a cribbage hand. There is no possible combination of 5 cards that will produce the above point totals. In over-the-board cribbage, sometimes a Cribbage player will score zero points for their hand if they claim that they have a "19 hand".

How do you move the pegs in Cribbage?

When you first peg points, you move one of these pegs from the middle box into the outer scoring column; on your second pegging of points you move a second peg from the middle box to the scoring column (in standard cribbage leapfrog fashion). The players' third pegs stay in the middle box during play of the first game.

Is there an advantage to dealing first in Cribbage?

At five card cribbage, there is a significant advantage to being first dealer. To offset this, the non-dealer pegs 3 points before the game begins. This is called "three for last". Five cards are dealt to each person at the start.
