Thank you. This is extremely helpful. I work in an assisted living facility and to make a new resident feel more comfortable, i offered to have him teach me. Unfortunately he has beginning symptoms of Alzheimers so to say i was a bit confused is an understatement. Now i cant wait to show him how much ive improved. I may or may not take a dive though. We'll see.

My elderly neighbor is laid up in bed and bored. She loves Cribbage and now I'll be able to play with her. Thank you so much.

In cribbage, nobs is the name given to the Jack of the turn-up suit. That is, if the turn-up card is a four of Diamonds, then the player holding the Jack of Diamonds scores an extra point in her hand, known as “one for nobs” (sometimes “knobs”) or “one for his nob” (or sometimes “his nibs”).

This was better than the first one I watch, great job trying to explain the game. Ps I think the Dog needs to go out for walk .

YOU TWO Someone gave me this gorgeous cribbage board, but I didn't know how to play. Most of these cribbage tutorials may as well be filmed with the presenter speaking Latin, or trying to show off how fast they are! I get it, once you know how to play, it's a fast game, but knowing nothing about cribbage and having only a small amount of exposure to cards & hands, I was about to give up! Then you show up in my menu. Thanks for slowing it down and explaining just what the heck is going on!

The first hand of the dealer you showed with K, Q, Q, 8, 5, 2. As the dealer I would have thrown the 8 & 2 instead of the pair of Queens in the crib. With the K, Q, Q, 5 hand. You have 8 points with a potential for 12 points if a Jack becoming the cut card. I try to hold the greatest amount of points in my hand whether I am the dealer or not. Crib is bonus and not the bank. 8 and 2 could have potential with the 10 and 6. Far greater potential than the pair of Queens. 10, 9 cut card, 8, 6, 2 potential 5 point crib. Same goes for if the 7 is the cut card. If 5 was the cut card it would be 4. Only if the 5 was the cut card. Then the pair of Queens would be better but that's banking on one number not to mention only one point extra. Not much to have me break up an 8 point hand with the potential for 12 points.

Thank you for explaining the Pegging Round. Been playing this game all along only with the Show and the Crib parts. Now it's even more fun knowing the rules!

My husband and I are trying to learn how to play and your video is the best tutorial we have found! Thank you!

[JackieJames-dckl]

thank you for not only making it clear, you demonstrated it well by actually playing!

Just got the cards for dummy’s book lol. He said you only get one point for 31 after a Go. I’m trying to get the game down pat so I can always play it right and quicker. Thanks from Minnesota

Thanks for the video. My wife and I are just learning Cribbage, and this really helped us. One scenario that we aren’t quite sure of is this: I was dealer, and had QJ96, she had K62A. She played played K, I played Q, she played 6. I said GO. She played her A and 2 for a count of 29, and pegged 1 point for last card. I started a new count by playing J. She is out of cards. Do I: A.) Play both the 9&6, and peg 2 points for the 15, and then 1 point for last? Or, B.). Play one of my cards, then peg 1 point because she is out of cards and can’t play and I played last card, ending that Count, and then I start a new Count, and peg another point because she can’t play and I played last card? A.) seems like the most logical way to play it, but her lack of cards make us both wonder if that is right.

Awesome video. Just got a cribbage set and wanted to learn to play with my wife as we’re camping. Thanks for making it. God bless.

Thanks for the video. When scoring the first crib in the tutorial hand, I think your sister missed the opportunity to score 2 for the 31 points 6 and two face cards, plus the 5 that was turned over.

Additionally, shouldn’t you expose the starter card prior to discarding to the crib?

[janetsimmons]

Great. Clearly explained. Personably presented . Loved it.

Also if a player misses points in their hand that another player sees, can't they steal those points for catching it?
