Sorry but this video was just as confusing as all the others on TH-cam. Seems like a total waste of time trying to learn this nonsensical game….
Newbie to cribbage here. You have great videos! Thanks!
Here mate, spend less time telling who starts and more time telling us the rules yeah?
Very helpful
Helpful
Video starts at 1:28
Thank you so much. You explained the game so well. Time now to beat my husband!😅
Go get him!
Well done! 👍🏼 gracias ☺️
De nada!
Thank you for the score sheet!❤😊
You’re welcome!
Omg this is for beginners? I used to play crib with my dad 40 years ago and I've totally forgot the game! But this tutorial is not helping me at all 🤷🏼♀️ sorry
I’m sorry too! Don’t give up!
Best video on scoring. Thanks.
Happy to help!
I need to make my husband cry
Do it! Don’t give up!
Please do a video on the rules for the go in 3 and 4 handed cribbage. So many people change the rules for 3 and 4 handed cribbage by not allowing a player to play all their cards under 31.
I’ll get there eventually!
You might want to mount that mirror on the wall correctly
🤣🤣🤣 We had just moved at that point and hadn’t gotten there yet.
@@HuddleAroundGames Been there too. 😁 Great video, now I will have to play. Houston, TX 🇨🇱🤠
lol this is not the easiest at all, mot by the way my brain works. It is just completely confusing.
Sorry! It’s a complex game! Stick with it!
Probably the greatest card game....just downloaded the online cribbage game... addictive as hell 👍😂
Yes it is! Even when you’re losing my and super frustrated (which is where I am right now 😂😂😂)…
Here's a guy who says you should do this and here's the reason why but then skips the part about if he was right or wrong
You never showed how any of the hands turned out
There’s a mathy TH-cam channel called numberphile, they did a shuffling effectiveness video on different kinds of shuffles. For the riffle shuffle you need to do it a few times 2-7 (can’t remember) to get a completely original deck. In order to get the same effectiveness in the overhand shuffle, you’d have to complete (guess how many) over hand shuffles… 10,000!
You've been playing since you were 5. You left a lot out of your explanation because it's like muscle memory to you and questions that a beginner would have do not occur to you. You did not explain how to add up the numbers nor how the players interact in adding the numbers per hand. Nothing. What??!! You need to go through a more thorough play by play as if you were teaching someone from another planet. This did not help me and I have to play cribbage with a 95 year old expert tomorrow.
Sorry! It’s a complex game! Don’t give up!
do you have a video, or can you make a video, showing how to play 4 player no teams, using a 4 track cribbage board?
I do not. Maybe someday?
Wondering why the HM text said a 1 in 12 chance of 16 or more when it should be a 1 in 13? It said in the hand, so cutting a J might give the opponent his heels to offset the net score, but that is not part of the hand, I would think. Perhaps because his heels would be automatic, the algorithm uses it in the calc? I guess if you are counting on a cut J for extra score and you are not the dealer, you should always remember to subtract heels from net score. (In this case, a double-double 3 card run would be worth it.)
Not sure exactly. It depends on the algorithm used. A good question for the creator!
Nice video. Why was Q,Q a better discard than 10,10? Chart appeared to indicate it was a better net score because of the crib. I guess for the crib viewed in isolation maybe there are a few more run discards likely...?
That’s it, I believe. If you toss QQ, your losing combos (bc we don’t want to give points) with it come from 5, 10, J, Q, and King. The ten only adds value if used with a Jack for the run. AND we know where two of the tens are. In the 10-10 toss, points are more easily made from 5, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, and K. You can get runs on either side. Overall, slightly more cards and opportunities.
Very helpful! Definitely want to learn more pegging strategy
I’ll drop more videos eventually. 🤣
Sorry, but your video is no less confusing than the rest. In fact it may be worse.
Sorry!
So what are you describing at 5:06 onward about wide cards? Are these to keep for pegging? The first one is a magic 11 but the other sums to 20... Or are these all 4 to be kept to have several 11s, but not runs? Confused.
Wide cards refer to cards that are not next to each other and better yet have at least two cards in between them. They are great for SUPER defensive pegging when you don’t want to get trapped in a run. They are also good to toss to the opponent’s crib.
Can you please explain how a "special 16" works for pegging? Are there specific combos, how many cards, etc.? Favour 11s before 16s? Should these be considered as a last check or in parallel with 11s (e.g. if no 11s, look for 16s?) ...interested, and cannot find anywhere. Thx!
“Special 16” is like an 11 but a light version. Not as potent. The idea is that since people will be trying to make 15 in pegging you can keep a 16 for a chance to turn that into a 31 for two.
It’s cards that add up to 16.
Can you help me understand why with A-2-3-8-9-9 you did not discard the 3-8 because you can make 11 if you held the 2-9? Or why not discard the A-9 so you have two 11s?
A-9 would be just fine too. It’s really just for example purposes too that I chose to get rid of the 9-9. (Don’t forget that flush!) In general though, keeping a wide variety of cards is better for defensive pegging.
@@HuddleAroundGames thanks... I was wondering about keeping the lowest combos to make an 11... Your response is helpful.
Is there a way for 4 or more people to play cribbage at the same time when playing face to face (i.e., not on cribbage pro scrimmage)? The answer is Yes with cribbage pro - scrimmage. I am trying to figure out the mechanics away from cribbage pro - a group of friends come over. My friends like Yahtzee because it lends itself to group playing. I prefer cribbage. My friends said they switch over if I could organize a group game. Maybe get rid of the discard pile - and just peg and score cards?
Ummm… I’m not sure other than playing four players with teams of two. More players I don’t know how that work. Of course, you could always do a tourney!
I like how you use the cards to count. I plan on counting with cards also.
Thanks for the refresher
Happy to!
Have you ever considered doing some interviews of cribbage personalities? Some of the well known icons of the game - or well established tournament players. It would be so insightful. I got into the game from Cribbage forum -- a loong time ago -- and as much as i love that site there has been little new content for years. Im so happy you make videos regularly. I like the puzzles idea also that someone suggested. Even book reviews. Lol - sorry. Getting carried away. Thanks for all you time and energy.
I have thought about all those things too! Maybe someday! I’ve been chilling this summer before the school year starts, though. I’ll get back into them soon!
Thank-you for all your cribbage videos. Superb job.
Appreciate the love!
Great explanation; really helpful. Thank You
Happy to help!

Could you create cribbage puzzles? Dan Barlow wrote two books of cribbage puzzles. Might as well make some money in addition to creating exciting cribbage content on TH-cam. I play cribbage at the senior center primarily for fellowship and keeping the brain sharp. A couple of cribbage puzzles (you have already done a lot of the work in making your videos) I believe would be marketable :).
That’s an idea I have on my list of things to get to!
Thankyou for your rules of thumb :)
No problem!
Cribbage Pro has a hint option. You can check your discard against the statistical table supporting the hint.
Just sort of feels like a game someone kept making rules up while disrespecting and beating on someone until those were the 'rules'
It has roots from games past, but the creator of Cribbage has quite the sordid history. Search up Sir John Suckling.
Thank you! I am a newbie and you are teaching me a lot.
Happy to help!
Dude your website is atrocious. Seriously that amount of ads was overwhelming. Legitimately happy to finally get good info and then all that. 😢
Sorry!
I had it once. took me a few minutes to count it all out correctly, and then we realized i had the '29' hand.
Wowza!
So in the peg phase why didn’t you get points for a pair of aces when you laid down the ace of diamonds (12:28)?
They have to be next to each other in the sequence to count as pairs.
On the cheat sheet: We have a question on your pegging four of a kind. You list four of a kind with 4 queen example. Wouldn't this be more than 31 and only work on 7 value or less cards? Thanks for your videos.
Absolutely true. Four of a kinds in your hand or crib or pegging are all worth 12, but only 7 or less will work when pegging because you’d go over 31 and split the sequence up. I might go back and change it now that you mention it. That does sound confusing for a new person.
@@HuddleAroundGames Thank you for your videos to settle the family discussions. We are totally into this game now.
Hey bud, thx again for the video. Sent you a previous message, not looking to horn in on your YT channel, but would love to just chat with you on advanced cribbage play, among other ideas. Know how to read your opponent; holding/playing of pairs, their throwaways, their speed of play & speed of discard, even how they hold the cards in their hands. Positional cribbage, knowing when to play on/play off - shuffling & great variations of the game. Would love to chat and pick your brain! Fellow cribbage nut, thx man!
Thanks for the kind words! Shoot me an email: huddlearoundgamesATgmailDOTcom
@@HuddleAroundGames will do!
Hey bud, thx for spreading the word on the great game of cribbage. If interested, would love to collaborate with you - been playing cribbage for over 50 years, been in tournaments (ACC & otherwise), played against some of the best…know the game inside out. Thx man, keep peggin..
I enjoyed this video and understood each step - except for Step 3: Winners or Losers. Have you gone into this aspect in greater detail in another video? P.S. Thank you for the reminder to look for flushes. (So many things to remember...)
I haven’t gone into that aspect before. Winners are basically cuts that improve your hand. Losers are cuts that don’t (or improve the other person’s crib based on what you tossed).
