1. Deal the cards: Each player is dealt six cards. Then, each player selects two cards to place face down in the crib.
2. Cut for the starter: One card is cut from the remaining deck to determine the starter card.
3. Start counting: The non-dealing player begins counting the points on the cards played. Points can be scored by creating combinations such as pairs, runs, and groups of cards that add up to 15.
4. Pegging: Players take turns playing one card at a time and adding the value of the cards to a running total. The total cannot exceed 31, and players score points for reaching certain totals, playing certain combinations, or playing the last card.
5. Count the hands: After all the cards have been played, players score additional points for the combinations in their hands.
6. Count the crib: The dealer counts the points in the crib, using the same rules as counting the hands.
