How to Practice at Cribbage: Play Cribbage Solitaire

Recently I've started playing Cribbage again. Cribbage is a fun game, it makes you think and it's one of the best 2 player card games around.

My husband doesn't play with me as much as I would like to, so I've got a computer game to practice my skills - but also, there is a fun game of Cribbage Solitaire.

This game of solitaire will really help you practice your Cribbage hand making and counting.

Enjoy!!!
