One for the cribbage players
Discussion
Back in the mid 70's my ex FiL taught me the game, and showed me a copy of a theorectical four handed game with A+C and B+D playing as pairs
In It A+C had 'dream hands' that couled with the turn over card
B+D had hands that totalled 19!!
With the pegging IIRC on the first deal A+C scored 81 points and B+D nil
Anyone out there know of this and can reca; what cards were deal.
I found the original copy FiL gave me but in the intervenig years it has faded beyond reading.
Now hsving found it i am really curious as to what it said so i can stick it onto the PC
Thanks

it is close ,but here is another explanation Four people are playing doubles brag
A+C are partners.B+D are partners
As with four handed cribbage. each are dealt 5 cards, each player discards one to become player A's crib,Pegging takes place in order of A,B,C and D IIRC correctly A+C get all the points B+D score 0
Hands are then checked B+D score 0
With A+C hands plus the crib and the pegging points they total about 81 or so points on that first deal
Does anyone know of this theorectical hand, or recreate it?

I can’t believe I have to ask... but pegging?
(I could google it, but would no doubt get sidetracked.. and I’m not asking the missus, not after what happened last time)

It's an old cavalry sport that dates back to the middle ages:
The cavalryman would gallop at speed at night through an enemy encampment, knocking out tent pegs with the tip of his lance, causing the tents to collapse, causing confusion and mayhem, whereupon following horsemen would decimate the helpless would-be combatants.
