GameColony Inc. Announces a 5-Card Cribbage Variation

GameColony.com, Inc. has announced today the newest game addition to its existing and very popular cribbage game - a 5-card cribbage variation. Just like other online games at GameColony.com, cribbage can be played for free or for real money prizes.

Camecolony.com's main cribbage variation – 6-card cribbage, similar to online Poker, has already proved very popular with online players and is a favorite for tournament play.

Cribbage is mainly a 2-player card game played with a standard 52-card deck. 5-card cribbage is an earlier version of the game that has been surpassed in popularity by a modern 6-card cribbage. In United Kingdom, however, a 5-card cribbage version is very popular in pubs and competitions.

The Company spokesman commented, "Cribbage is a very interesting and engaging game for all card players. With a relatively simple set of rules, cribbage requires such skills as strategy and accurate calculation of card combinations and points. Winning in cribbage requires continuous focus and concentration till the very end of this excellent game."

From a strategy standpoint, a 5-card cribbage variation differs from the 6-card variation: a 5-card cribbage is a faster game where a crib is worth more and the practical value of various card combinations becomes different.

Together with the 6-card cribbage, a 5-card cribbage is very popular with amateur and professional card players alike.
