I COULD NOT LEARN THIS GAME! then along came YOU. Thank you so much! You teach a game the way I do it. This is the BEST!!! I am already playing games online for practice!
These are great. We had found a game at my parent's house, but the instructions made practically no sense. These first two helped us to be able to play. I'd really love to see the promised third video...
Love your cribbage videos - they are so easy to understand!! We've played a couple of rounds and have questions. Once we've reached 31 or are not able to make 31 but still have cards remaining, do we continue to play? If one person has cards left but the other does not do, we continue?? Thank you for your videos!! ❤❤❤❤
Continuing my post from your first video... 2:38 - The spelling of “His Knobs” is actually “His Nobs”, which you got correct at in the text to the right. I usually say this as having “the right Jack”, as I’m sure many other players say the same thing or something similar to avoid the confusion of His Nobs vs. His Heels. 3:50 - The discard of “useful cards” like a pair, depending on whether you are the dealer or not, should only be done if they do not help your hand. For example, regardless of suit, having something like 2-2-5-10-J-Q in your hand, I would still discard 2-2 to my opponent, dealer or not, as any other discard would not get you the 9 points minimum that you would get from the remaining 4 cards. 4:04 - Discarding A-K from the hand is OK only if they don’t help the remaining 4 cards, as they would if your 6 cards happen to be something like A-2-4-4-8-K. 4:14 - I agree with you to never start with a 5 if all 8 cards are still in play, but you having no choice if you having 5-5-5-J and you played the Jack in the first round. For example, if your opponent starts with a 7, you play the Jack to avoid him playing a 3 for 15, he plays Q for 27 and the Go, then you have no choice but to play one of your remaining fives when the count again begins at 0. 4:52 - Leading with A or 2 contradicts your previous tip of leading with a pair if you have another one of either. You should mention something like “unless you have another of each to lead with a pair”. Holding on to low cards is only good if they add to the score in your hand. 5:07 - Leading with a 4 isn’t a bad idea but your opponent can still “pair” it. There are many times I lead with a 7 or 8, hoping the other player will get the count to 15, where I can then play a card on either side for a 3-card run. 5:27 - Beginning players should definitely take their time when counting points. However, if you don’t already know, an interesting variation of the game is the addition of “Muggins”, where the opposing player counts any missed points of the hand. Although it can be frustrating, it certainly helps a beginning player to look for every possible combination of scoring points! 6:53 - The Jack in the hand is not getting a nob when you have “nobs” in your text, as opposed to scoring 1 point for “His Nobs”, a proper noun.
If in the crib hand there is a Jack that matches the play card, is it a nob with 1 point? I play with friends and they say no but when I play with a computer game it does count it.
How do people use score sheet books in cribbage. (Do they memorial the game history like in chess game for re-play and analyzing ( the books are on sale at e-Bay and Amazon
For a bit of novelty. If you get to the end of playing the cards. When you come to count them, if you have no points, you can just say "19!" Why? Because 19 is the only number you cannot score in a cribbage hand. Fun facts 😅
On the screen about highest scoring hand, you list four fives “and any Jack”. Should that not be “Jack suited to the starter card,”? (And the Starter has to be one of the fives)
That's wrong. The jack needs to be in the hand for 29. You can't get one for his knob when it's the deck card. Max is 28. Example of 29 is. 5c 5sp 5h Jack of D 5d on the deck
During WW2 the USS Wahoo was the most successful US submarine during the war. The CO and XO liked to play cribbage to help relieve the stress, and during a patrol in shallow waters the CO deals the XO a perfect 29 and they go on to sink 2 Japanese ships. The following day they are still in shallow waters and the CO who is dealer again deals the XO a 28 and they go on to sink 2 more Japanese ships.
The 29 hand has to be where the Jack is in the hand with the 5 cut card suited to the Jack in hand. Otherwise if you have all four 5's in the hand with the Jack as the cut card. You will not reach 29. Same goes for with three 5's and a Jack in the hand but the 5 that was cut isn't suited to the Jack in your hand. You will not reach 29. This wasn't explained thoroughly in the video.
I think u talk way to fast if u can’t see the screen. It should be played slowly so for a first time and I mean the very first time, at least y can follow the game
Thank you for your awesome videos, Still waiting for cribbage part 3...
This helped me and my wife learn how to play!! We never had played before and this was very helpful thank you

Loved this tutorial! After the first, I thought it was confusing, but, like he said, the second one cleared it up.
These are great. We had found a game at my parent's house, but the instructions made practically no sense. These first two helped us to be able to play. I'd really love to see the promised third video...
many thanks for this -the best tutorial out there
Glad it was helpful!
Nice video. Finally makes sense.
I played for the first time before seeing this video and It was so helpful.
Best video to learn the game!
Thank you so much this was the best tutorial!!!

looking forward to part three.
40 yrs since I played . The Nob.... Been so looong.
Thank you much

Part 3 plsssssss
After the first video I was still confused, then while watching this video it all came together
For a bit of novelty. If you get to the end of playing the cards. When you come to count them, if you have no points, you can just say "19!"
Why?
Because 19 is the only number you cannot score in a cribbage hand.
Fun facts 😅
On the screen about highest scoring hand, you list four fives “and any Jack”. Should that not be “Jack suited to the starter card,”? (And the Starter has to be one of the fives)
Good
That's wrong. The jack needs to be in the hand for 29. You can't get one for his knob when it's the deck card. Max is 28.
Example of 29 is.
5c 5sp 5h Jack of D
5d on the deck

The audio skips at 0:56 literally when you’re saying which player receives the points.
Do all pegs have to reach the finished line
No first one there wins
What app are you using please?
not sure the name - but it's on ios
A go in cribbage
Kinda like a mixture of poker and blitz
The 29 hand has to be where the Jack is in the hand with the 5 cut card suited to the Jack in hand. Otherwise if you have all four 5's in the hand with the Jack as the cut card. You will not reach 29. Same goes for with three 5's and a Jack in the hand but the 5 that was cut isn't suited to the Jack in your hand. You will not reach 29. This wasn't explained thoroughly in the video.
I am still confused 🤔
Have you watched the 1st one, link in description
I think u talk way to fast if u can’t see the screen. It should be played slowly so for a first time and I mean the very first time, at least y can follow the game
I can’t see, the screen is to small to see what you’re doing
talking too fast...slow down please
You can always slow down the play speed of the video if you want he to speak slower. I found that helpful.
