Description

Wicked Cribbage is a fresh spin on the classic card game, designed by Jamison Klagmann and published in 2024. This base game is perfect for 2 to 4 players looking for a fun and strategic experience that can be learned quickly, with simple rules that can be explained in no time. A typical game lasts between 30 to 45 minutes, making it an excellent choice for a casual game night. The game builds upon the traditional rules of cribbage, using a standard 52-card deck, but with exciting new twists that add depth and excitement to the gameplay. The introduction of two new types of cards, the Twinkler and the Lugger, brings an extra layer of strategy and chance to the game. These special cards can be played immediately or held for later use, allowing players to outmaneuver their opponents and gain an edge. With its unique blend of hand management, deduction, and math, Wicked Cribbage challenges players to think critically and make tactical decisions to win. The goal remains the same as in traditional cribbage: be the first player to reach 121 points. With its engaging gameplay and social interaction, Wicked Cribbage is an excellent choice for fans of card games and deduction, offering a thrilling experience that will keep you coming back for more.
