I have not played this game since I was nine. Memories as a kids was beating all my dad adult friends and them getting mad. So here it is 40 years later. And my Boyfriend reteaches me and I skunk him first game. Lol. He was trying to remember to. So this was so helpful. We were not counting all the point right. Now to try and make him play me again ☺️

This was exactly what I needed, and answered all of my questions about gameplay. I also like the review at the end with a new set of hands. Thank you!

Francamente, la EXPLICACIÓN FUE MUY RÁPIDA Y COMO PARA PERSONAS QUE YA TIENEN CONOCIMIENTOS BASICOS DE ESTE JUEGO.
YO DESCONOZCO LOS TÉRMINOS, JAMAS JUGUÉ NI POKER, ENTONCES ESTOY PERDIDA.
RECOMIENDO EXPLICAR LENTO PERO DE MANERA DIDÁCTICA.
COMO PARA PRINCIPIANTES...
Saludos,

After the first round of 31, how do you know who starts the second round? In this example it was player 2 the second time, then player 3 the third time. I'm not sure if it should always start with the player left of the dealer, or was it because the dealer laid the last card in round 1. Then it moved to player 3 for the 3rd round of 31 because player 2 laid the last card in round 2 or just because player 2 had no cards left to lay down so it starts with the next person. If everyone still has cards left who should lay the first card next?

this is good I played cribbage with two others last year but I play with one other person I have been practicing

Hi there! At 7:10 in your video when you are counting player “2’s” hand, you add up the cards to 20 points. I don’t quite understand why the two runs that player 2 has are worth 8 points each...please help! Thank you!!!

[Skeezik]

A few questions. 1, do you only count runs when you're building up to 31 each time you're doing so? 2, basically the same question, but with pairs? 3, after the peg moving/counting, do you add the pairs/runs you have with other people? Somebody please answer, we just picked up a cribbage set and are trying to learn everything we can on how to play it. 4, when you're counting your crib, do you add whatever pairs/runs/15s you get from combining it with your hand?

Lets assume during the play, one player has all ten cards and shortly calls go, will play continue to alternate between the remaining players, who are holding low values, till one of these calls go or 31 is reached? Then pickup once more left of the player who deposited last card? Thank you

[stuartrobinson]

At 2:37 you say that "once the 3rd player can no longer play a card, he pegs one for the go" this confusing. I thought that a player who has run out of cards to play must say "go" if the other 2 players still have cards to play.

What’s the nob for instance a jack and a 3 gives 1 point i think?? Thanks

[anthonyvronko]

Is their any kind of special deal allowed in three handed cribbage, or do you have to deal 5 cards out first before putting one in the crib?

[brentyoungens]

is it true that the player with thr crib counts last?

[lizaoakes]

My friend is teaching me how to play and I’m like in the ear and out the other or it flies over my head!🤦‍♀️😰🙏🤣🙏

[YknotLearnall]

I'm confused. Not about the rules, about the board set up.
Three players 6 pegs only two colors. Which peg is who's?

[joshualocke]

This is an incomplete explanation of the game. 😢

[IridescentEye]

One of the better ones, but I don't think you mentioned flushes or jack scoring (Nob and Hat) ….. also, there's one difference for crib scoring as opposed to hand scoring (although this may be an English thing) for flushes the crib needs all five cards to flush, whereas the hand can have the four held cards for four points or all five for five.

[geevee]

Here it is: With three players you deal eight cards and throw two into the crib. The highest hand you can get is 44-55-66 with a 5 kicker. 72 points. Hooray!

Might be nice if you were anywhere near your microphone!
