If a player lurches (British) or skunks (US) their opponent (reaches 121 points before their opponent scores 91 points), that player wins two match points for that game.

What happens if you go over 121 in cribbage?

When more than one game is played, each player uses a third peg in one of the rows of 10 holes in the center of the board, pegging one hole for each game he wins. When a winner reaches 121 before his opponent reaches 61 points this is called "Lurch" and the winner may peg 2 game holes.

Do you have to score exactly 121 in cribbage?

In the standard six-card cribbage game the winner is the first player to reach 121 points, and the end of the board. The cribbage rules do not require you to score exactly 121; any score that takes you past 120 points is enough to win - provided you get to count it!
