Go to the website above... AND, you have three pegs of each color because one is a spare. They're incredibly easy to lose

Answer 3

Some boards have a section at one end where you use the third peg to keep score of the number of games won.  And it is also a spare.  Many people end up using matches as pegs because they lost the original ones.  Cribbage is not hard to learn.  Here are a couple of  links that will help  you.  Best of luck and have fun.
