I am 69 years old and have early alzheimer's and was still able to follow this lesson! It was great! I will have to write out the rules but can come back to this over and over again if I "forget". Thank you!!
Learning so I can play with my dad for the first time in my 30 something years! I've always been jealous and wished I could play cribb with him, now since everything happened last few years I haven't seen him in 4 years and when I visit him this spring he'll be shocked that I learned and he'll cry tears of joy. I love my dad.
You get an 'A' for effort. Oppenheimer once tried to learn Cribbage- He tipped the table over walked out in frustration, vowing to make enemies for life to anyone who uttered the name of the game in his presence.
After watching a handful of 'how to cribbage' videos, none holds up against yours and I have to thank you because if my sisters and i hadn't found your video we would have called it a night. You have been the most helpful. We thank you so much!
Just started learning this game….I absolutely love it…it’s good for relaxation yet it challenges your brain. 🧠 Your tutorial has been very helpful! New subscriber! 👍
Best video I found on cribbage. The others were so confusing and fast moving I couldn't keep up. This video collection went at a beginner pace and explained each play succinctly. So much better than the instructions that came with the game!
My dad taught me how to play cribbage. I'd ask if he wanted to play, he'd say, yeah, but you don't stand a chance! Usually I didn't! I skunked him twice. I believe he enjoyed it more than I. Thanks Dad. I miss you and Mom.
you should introduce your dad to some of the amazing modern board games that exist now. Board games have a LOOONG way since the days of cribbage and monopoly. Those are the equivalent of a 1940 black and white television set compared to flat screen, internet connected, smart TVs of today with hundreds of HD and 4k on-demand streaming channels.
Thank you for these videos. You definitely broke it down simply so I finally understand. Hopefully my step kids can’t beat me or get away with cheating anymore.
I used to play this game with my dad from the age of 9 I always learnt that you can reuse the cards as in the 5 and ace makes 6 add the 9 is 15 for 2 but then you can add the ace to the 9 and add the 5 to make another 15 for 4 that's how I've always played it
This is by far the best Cribbage video on TH-cam! I am looking forward to the next two videos! Please let me know when the are out because I already get way to many subscription notifications. Thanks!
I have been playing cribbage since I was a kid- it’s a great mid-western tradition- and although I have/ played many other games I think it is the best 2 person card game. Nice demo, great game!
This does not teach Crib. BTW the best way to learn is in in a Welsh pub. Better a four hand rather than 2. BTW my success rate against American players is 87.3%
@@marykbennett8158 We need to find an online game, where I can show you why The Welsh, are the greatest Players. Living in God's country gives an advantage
not even close. We have some amazing, modern, two player board games these days. Games like Battle Line, Mandala, Watergate, Twilight Struggle, 1960 Making of a President, etc, etc
I used to play this with my dad from the age of 8 untill the 1980s cos electronic games came out then, I was really good at it, 15 one 15 two etc IM 58 AND IV TOTALLY FORGOT HOW TO PLAY IT 😔 I hope this instructional vid helps 🤞🏼
For the love of god there are SOOO MANY absolutely AMAAAZING modern board games out there! I hope you are also looking into some of those rather than just these board game dinosaurs. Take a look at game like Battle Line, a modern classic. Or some of the amazing co-operative board games like Pandemic. Or games like Watergate, Mandala, Twilight Struggle, or 1960 The Making of a President, or Troyes to name just a few.
I'm confused. At 5:55 it says if you lay down a count of 15 it counts as "a" point. It should be two points according to the scoring sheet on the left.
Well hopefully this will help me,I’m going on vacation w my man and he’d like for me to be able to play cribbage w him. I’m bad w numbers so the part that gets me stuck is points and moving the pin.
if you want a game you and your husband will love thats more modern and more fun, for two players, try Battle Line, Mandala, and Watergate. They are small box, very portable, easy to learn games, but among the most highly rated modern board games of all time
Still complicated and I wondered if a "Royal Fizzbin" was part of the game! :-) (If you know what this means, you know!) But at least this video is MUCH clearer than others I watched...thanks! What's with the 2 pegs moving in your game?? My board comes with 3 colors and 3 pegs each. I can understand moving 1 peg around. Did I miss something?
I'm kinda catching on to the myriad of ways to score points, but you don't mention anything about how to decide what peg(s) to move and how many. I see them moving, but I can't pick up the pattern.
Gee i had aced chemistry,biology,physics and infomatic( Basic comp.lang.) in Highschool but i do not have the Patience or the Capacity to understand the most complicated Card Game in the known Universe......
It's really not all that complicated as opposed to using simple addition to score points.

A point for getting 31 is only during the game play part of the game, when you are laying down cards. (Also called pegging). When you add up your card points afterwards, 31 is no longer relevant to get any points.
This what happen when I bought the game and tried to play. I was the dealer, they laid a 9, I laid a 9, they laid a 9. I could not go so I said go. They laid an ace then a two. I had three cards left over, so I started playing my three cards. They said I couldn't do it the game was over because they didn't have any more cards. Do I play out my hand or let them shuffle.
I'm only 3 minutes into your video, and I'm already a little lost. How did you lose the deal when you selected the 10 and the dealer selected an 8? Does the low card win? Thanks. Also, when you select the starter card, do you just flip over the top card of the deck, or do you look for a particular card you want as the starter card and select it?
@@PuzzlingGames This is incorrect. Each player cuts a portion of the deck and reveals the bottom card of the pile they took. Only then does lowest card determine who deals first. In the interest of fairness, the player who does the pre-cut shuffle offers the first cut to their opponent so that the shuffler doesn't have the advantage of knowing what the top card might be. It is usually customary for the first player making the cut to take at most half the deck to reveal their bottom card, thus offering their opponent a reasonable chance of getting a lower cut card. The starter card is determined by the non-dealer cutting the cards, the dealer takes the top card from the remaining cards, and possibly scoring 2 points for revealing a Jack. I'm going to post a comment later with a fairly lengthy discussion intended for constructive criticism only so watch for it.
Pretty sure most players don't remember half these rules. Sheesh. This is like so water is running over here but use fire on this plant to make sure to get points when someone grabbing the leaf that's not burning off gets three points instead of two.
I’m still confused about how the “Go” scoring works. You didn’t get a point when the dealer said “Go” and you made it 31, but the dealer got a point when you said “Go” on the same hand. Why is that? Also, who continues play after a “Go” if neither player can make the count 31 or over?
So if I got your question right, Go scoring works if the player 1 says go and player 2 can't play a card that equals 31 or less. That's 1 point for the go. Same situation player 1 says go but player 2 can lay down a card they do if it doesn't equal 31 you player 2 plays until can't anymore and takes 1 point for go, if player 2 can make 31 it cancels the go 1 point and makes 31 for 2 points. I hope that helps.

Last player to say "go" during the current play scores a point. Many "goes" can be announced during play but only the last "go" announced scores a point.
At 6:25, why don’t you get a point? The opponent wasn’t able to lay down a card without going over 31 and said Go. Later, they get a point when you say Go.
When the other player said "Go", you were still able to play the 4 getting to 31, scoring 2 points. On cards totalling 31, the player reaching it gets 2 points, not three for the other player saying "Go".

Ok. What did I miss? I see two issues. #1 You wrote, “Your opponent cannot lay down a card without going over 31 (1 point)“. The dealer DIDN’T lay down a card when you played the 4 for a score of 31 (thus pegging 2). Why didn’t you get the 3rd point for him not being able to lay down a card? #2 After the first 31, the dealer played the last card which brought the score up to 32, exceeding 31. I thought that you could not play a card that brought the score over 31. What did I miss?
Hi. Thanks for writing. The simple answer is that in the second video on my channel I get into the detail of the scoring and it should answer your questions. Thanks for watching

Also, you run your sentences together, falling over yourself because your mind is running ahead of your speech. You must slow your speaking and leave space between your sentences.
As I promised in another post on this video, having a passion for cribbage and playing for over 35 years, after viewing this and your subsequent videos, I must say that I’m a little disappointed in its content. I have some comments about them, which I hope will be taken as constructive criticism if you want to record them again or as more help to those who are still confused about certain aspects of the game. Using timestamps, I would like to address the following: 3:00 - You don’t say how you lost the deal, although this is mentioned in the comments, which many may not read. 4:41 - You don’t say how the starter card is selected, again mentioned in the comments. However, it is not simply the top card of the remaining pile after the deal; rather, the non-dealer cuts that pile, and the top card of the pile still on the table is revealed as the starter card. 5:35 - In your text, having a Jack in your hand is not used during play, other than being used to score 15, pairing it with your opponent’s Jack, as part of a run, or bringing the playing score to 31. I would also consider rearranging the list to put getting to 15 before getting to 31, as that will happen first, if at all. You are correct in how the Jack is used after game play at 13:20. 5:57 - Laying down the final card to get 15 is 3 points, two for 15 and 1 for last card. 9:33 - I’m not sure what you mean by “get 4 cards out of it” as the explanation clearly shows the there are only 2 points in that hand. 11:34 - You say “121 pegs”; I assume you mean 121 points. 12:50 - You could not have gotten points for playing 3 of a kind with a third 8. The playing score is already at 31 when the pair is played, as indicated by the count. You should say that 3 of a kind is worth 6 points only if the count is still under or reaches 31. 13:15 - You say you got 15 for 2 points and 1 for last card but the text clearly states there is also an unordered run of 3, bringing the total for playing the 5 to 6 points. Here are a couple of questions for you or anyone else who would like to answer: 1. What would you discard given the 6 cards of 5-5-6-7-7-8 if you were the dealer? As the non-dealer? 2. Is it possible to win a game 121-0?
David: There seems to be an overwhelming amount of misinformation regarding cribbage tutorials in general and understanding a "go" in particular. Fortunately there are cribbage games for download on GP which offer a great way to understand the game as the computer counts the points and moves the pegs. I have only seen 1 video which explains a "go" correctly.
@@PuzzlingGames start at 6:26 point, the dealer gives a "go" but no mention to the viewing audience that at that point you would get a point and even when points are awarded for the 31, it's only calculated as a "2" pointer. The program may well have moved the peg (I can't see the board, it's too small) but there's no mention of getting the point for a "go" nor is it pointed out that the peg is moved. Only that 2 points is awarded for reaching 31. OR... maybe I'm deaf and can't hear it lol.
WOW , i've had several pepole trying to teach me cribbage on the fly and now i see why i get my ass kicked every time. If you don't remember or know where all the points come from you will have problems beating someone who has played before.
its really a bad game. so many great, easy to learn modern games that fix many of the problems with old games like cribbage. Board games have come a long way since the days of monopoly and scrabble and cribbage, just like computers have come a long way since the 70s
The "go" is probably the most confusing part of cribbage and rightfully so. It's not a concept that is easily understood. I will attempt to explain in general terms. With 2 person cribbage both players need to say "go" in consecutive order. Whoever says "go" last scores a point, then the count starts over again from zero. With 3 players all 3 players must say "go" in consecutive order. The player announcing the 3rd consecutive "go" scores a point and play starts over again from zero. 4 players need 4 consecutive "goes" in order for the last player who said "go" to score a point and play starts over again from zero. I know this is very wordy explanation. I always teach new players to always say "go". So grab a deck of cards and practice "go".
I have never heard where ALL players must say “Go” before any points are taken unless it is mandatory in tournament play and the last one I played in was in high school where it was not a strict and enforced rule. Usually, it’s just assumed that if a player says “Go” any other players can lay down their cards (in strategic pegging order) once the “Go” cycle is complete. For example, if Player 1 says “Go” in a 2-player game, Player 2 doesn’t have to say “Go” in response but rather he can continue to play all the cards he can because Player 1 still can’t make a play. The same goes for 3- or 4-player games when it is known that all remaining players IN SUCCESSION can’t make plays. If you or anyone else are up to the challenge, answer me this. If I’m playing against you and you say “Go”, there are 4 different ways for me to score 10 points while the tally is under 31. How is this possible? As a bonus, what is the maximum pegging points you can get during play before the hands and crib are scored in a 2-player game? How many points will your opponent get?
Runs are based on the actual cards and not their numerical value. At no point during this video was a real 10 played, so if you're referring to the 9-Q-8 play, that was not a run just because the Q has a value of 10.
I'm 77 years of age and have been playing card games since I was a kid. I've played them all except cribbage, probably because I recognized that old people played cribbage. I recently started learning online. What a hot mess this game is. Ridiculous. The scoring is insane. I watched you send cards to the crib that were needed to make 15 in your four cards! This game sucks explained with a lot of word salad.
This tutorial may be good, I don’t know because I’m a beginner aged 76. But note this: you speak too fast. And you run your words together. Most youngsters do this. Slow down please. Cheers.

why did you not get points for 31 with the crib hand for the 2,10,k,9 ?
31's are not counted in the crib hand.
How many cards dealt and how many to the crib. 2 players
2 players: 6 cards each player. Both players discard 2 cards each.

Go scoring works if the player 1 says go and player 2 can't play a card that equals 31 or less. That's 1 point for the go. Same situation player 1 says go but player 2 can lay down a card they do if it doesn't equal 31 you player 2 plays until can't anymore and takes 1 point for go, if player 2 can make 31 it cancels the go 1 point and makes 31 for 2 points. I hope that helps.
This is so confusing

Last player to say "go" during the current play scores a point. Many "goes" can be announced during play but only the last "go" announced scores a point.
@@dtecum Go can be announced 0, 1, or 2 times in any given round. The third time is simply "last card" which is not a Go.
At 6:25, why don’t you get a point? The opponent wasn’t able to lay down a card without going over 31 and said Go. Later, they get a point when you say Go.
When the other player said "Go", you were still able to play the 4 getting to 31, scoring 2 points. On cards totalling 31, the player reaching it gets 2 points, not three for the other player saying "Go".
Watched this twice now, still can't get my head around it.

Hello 😭🙏🙏🙏
Are Jokers allowed in Cribbage?
No jokers or wild cards.
Ok. What did I miss?
I see two issues.
#1 You wrote, “Your opponent cannot lay down a card without going over 31 (1 point)“. The dealer DIDN’T lay down a card when you played the 4 for a score of 31 (thus pegging 2). Why didn’t you get the 3rd point for him not being able to lay down a card?
#2 After the first 31, the dealer played the last card which brought the score up to 32, exceeding 31. I thought that you could not play a card that brought the score over 31. What did I miss?
Hi. Thanks for writing. The simple answer is that in the second video on my channel I get into the detail of the scoring and it should answer your questions. Thanks for watching
I have already watched the second video. Nope. Still didn’t get my answers. 😳

Also, you run your sentences together, falling over yourself because your mind is running ahead of your speech.
You must slow your speaking and leave space between your sentences.
I know how to play, I'm teaching someone. The first part was so confusing. He should explain points first.
As I promised in another post on this video, having a passion for cribbage and playing for over 35 years, after viewing this and your subsequent videos, I must say that I’m a little disappointed in its content. I have some comments about them, which I hope will be taken as constructive criticism if you want to record them again or as more help to those who are still confused about certain aspects of the game. Using timestamps, I would like to address the following:
3:00 - You don’t say how you lost the deal, although this is mentioned in the comments, which many may not read.
4:41 - You don’t say how the starter card is selected, again mentioned in the comments. However, it is not simply the top card of the remaining pile after the deal; rather, the non-dealer cuts that pile, and the top card of the pile still on the table is revealed as the starter card.
5:35 - In your text, having a Jack in your hand is not used during play, other than being used to score 15, pairing it with your opponent’s Jack, as part of a run, or bringing the playing score to 31. I would also consider rearranging the list to put getting to 15 before getting to 31, as that will happen first, if at all. You are correct in how the Jack is used after game play at 13:20.
5:57 - Laying down the final card to get 15 is 3 points, two for 15 and 1 for last card.
9:33 - I’m not sure what you mean by “get 4 cards out of it” as the explanation clearly shows the there are only 2 points in that hand.
11:34 - You say “121 pegs”; I assume you mean 121 points.
12:50 - You could not have gotten points for playing 3 of a kind with a third 8. The playing score is already at 31 when the pair is played, as indicated by the count. You should say that 3 of a kind is worth 6 points only if the count is still under or reaches 31.
13:15 - You say you got 15 for 2 points and 1 for last card but the text clearly states there is also an unordered run of 3, bringing the total for playing the 5 to 6 points.
Here are a couple of questions for you or anyone else who would like to answer:
1. What would you discard given the 6 cards of 5-5-6-7-7-8 if you were the dealer? As the non-dealer?
2. Is it possible to win a game 121-0?
David: There seems to be an overwhelming amount of misinformation regarding cribbage tutorials in general and understanding a "go" in particular. Fortunately there are cribbage games for download on GP which offer a great way to understand the game as the computer counts the points and moves the pegs. I have only seen 1 video which explains a "go" correctly.
Old Maid anyone? 😂
Why didn't the first "go" give the opponent a point?
I think it did.
@@PuzzlingGames start at 6:26 point, the dealer gives a "go" but no mention to the viewing audience that at that point you would get a point and even when points are awarded for the 31, it's only calculated as a "2" pointer. The program may well have moved the peg (I can't see the board, it's too small) but there's no mention of getting the point for a "go" nor is it pointed out that the peg is moved. Only that 2 points is awarded for reaching 31. OR... maybe I'm deaf and can't hear it lol.
WOW , i've had several pepole trying to teach me cribbage on the fly and now i see why i get my ass kicked every time. If you don't remember or know where all the points come from you will have problems beating someone who has played before.
its really a bad game. so many great, easy to learn modern games that fix many of the problems with old games like cribbage. Board games have come a long way since the days of monopoly and scrabble and cribbage, just like computers have come a long way since the 70s
yup not for me boring af although i did learn
Why did you not get a point for the FIRST "GO" that the dealer said?
This is still NOT a clear set of rules.... ??
The "go" is probably the most confusing part of cribbage and rightfully so. It's not a concept that is easily understood. I will attempt to explain in general terms. With 2 person cribbage both players need to say "go" in consecutive order. Whoever says "go" last scores a point, then the count starts over again from zero. With 3 players all 3 players must say "go" in consecutive order. The player announcing the 3rd consecutive "go" scores a point and play starts over again from zero. 4 players need 4 consecutive "goes" in order for the last player who said "go" to score a point and play starts over again from zero. I know this is very wordy explanation. I always teach new players to always say "go". So grab a deck of cards and practice "go".
I have never heard where ALL players must say “Go” before any points are taken unless it is mandatory in tournament play and the last one I played in was in high school where it was not a strict and enforced rule. Usually, it’s just assumed that if a player says “Go” any other players can lay down their cards (in strategic pegging order) once the “Go” cycle is complete. For example, if Player 1 says “Go” in a 2-player game, Player 2 doesn’t have to say “Go” in response but rather he can continue to play all the cards he can because Player 1 still can’t make a play. The same goes for 3- or 4-player games when it is known that all remaining players IN SUCCESSION can’t make plays.
If you or anyone else are up to the challenge, answer me this. If I’m playing against you and you say “Go”, there are 4 different ways for me to score 10 points while the tally is under 31. How is this possible? As a bonus, what is the maximum pegging points you can get during play before the hands and crib are scored in a 2-player game? How many points will your opponent get?
10...9....8 you missed 3 points in the pegging
Runs are based on the actual cards and not their numerical value. At no point during this video was a real 10 played, so if you're referring to the 9-Q-8 play, that was not a run just because the Q has a value of 10.
I'm retarded and I could follow good tank you sir.
I wish you talked a little slower 😮
I'm 77 years of age and have been playing card games since I was a kid. I've played them all except cribbage, probably because I recognized that old people played cribbage. I recently started learning online. What a hot mess this game is. Ridiculous. The scoring is insane. I watched you send cards to the crib that were needed to make 15 in your four cards! This game sucks explained with a lot of word salad.
Wow, must be all his friends chiming in. He is very confusing to listen to. Well, onto another how to video. 😁
What a complicated and confusing card game, i don't get it at all.
This tutorial may be good, I don’t know because I’m a beginner aged 76. But note this: you speak too fast. And you run your words together. Most youngsters do this. Slow down please. Cheers.
Way too confusing to follow
What a load of bunk,, poorly explained,, I do play crib', must make a youtube vid,
I should do the same.
What app is this?
