Remillie Norsworthy has been playing cribbage since she was seven, just old enough to do addition in one's head!

Cribbage is an easy game to learn, but it takes strategy to play the odds in choosing the cards you keep before the communal trump card is revealed for everyone to use. We will learn what card combinations score points, how to leapfrog pegs on the board to keep track of your score, and how to try to out-think your opponent(s) when playing the "pegging" part of the game. We will work on strategy and play for 2, 3 and 4 players in regular cribbage, and for a single person in "Chinese" cribbage.

No experience necessary--we'll teach ya! If participants have a cribbage board and a deck of cards at home, please bring them, but lacking a board, cribbage can be played on paper!

Class runs on Wednesday mornings from Oct. 14, 2026, to the first Wednesday in May, 2027. We do not meet in the summer months.

Instructor: Remillie Norsworthy - a retired teacher.
