After the deal cards remain face down in front of each player. Each member of the team is dealt 7 cards one at a time and the individual is dealt 14 cards two at a time.

The deal starts to the player left of dealer and progresses clockwise. In case of a tie both players draw again. The individual and one team member each draw a card from the CrossCribb deck. Team members sit across from each other and the individual sits between them on either side of the board. Choose a score keeper and draw cards to determine who will play as an individual (low card is the individual).

In this version, two players (referred to as 'the team') play against one player (referred to as 'the individual'). During play each player will discard 2 cards into the crib instead of 1 card. Each player is dealt 14 cards instead of 7 cards. The rules are the same as the 4-player game except for the following: One player sits facing the circle columns while the other faces the diamond rows.
