I'm thinking this is a refresher video for those who haven't played in a while. As far as teaching a person who has never played the game... keep searching for another video.

I'm more confused than before I clicked.

My Dad and Grandfather used to play this all of the time. I learned as a child and forgot, now I'm teaching my daughter thanks to you!

Guy who created cribbage: "How many random and complicated rules do you want?"

The players: "Yes."

I played crib my entire childhood with my sisters but havent' played for years! A friend of mine has a crib board and used to play crib and loved it too but I had to remember how to play. This video was PERFECT because I remembered all the rules correctly. Thank you so much for this wonderful video.

I don't know what everyone is talking about. This was a perfect explanation and I've never played it before. Thanks, just what I needed! :)

Haven't played since the mid 70s, back onboard the USS Independence. We killed a lot of time with this game. Thanks for the refresher, I definitely needed one.

I used to a frequent player many, many years ago. This tutorial is perfectly explained. I feel ready to play again. Great job! Thank you.

Anyone else still not know how to play?

This was actually a very good refresher course for me. I used to play cribbage with my mom who is now 85 and I want to start playing with her again for her mental stimulation and memory skills and neither one of us could remember exactly how the counting went. Lol
I remember the 15 2...etc but I couldn’t remember the rest of it so thank you for a very informative simple video. 💁🏻

As someone who used to play cribbage 20 some years ago, this video was the best thing I could of asked for. Very well done. Thank you!

[amybrooks]

i've never played before. this video makes sure that i still won't.

It's been about 10 years since I've played this game. Good to have the refresher

“And be sure to divide the point total based on suit count by the relative humidity....”

This video is currently on 1M views. Give it a few days and people from Smarter Everyday will push this to 2M as they will come here to see how to play Cribbage the next time they go to a submarine

Best One - I played cribbage about 20 years ago, when married. I have the opportunity to play again and wanted to refresh my knowledge, first. I watched 3 videos on utube. The first 2 left out facts, like one point for the jack (nob), etc. This video was the last one I watched. It covered everything, all aspects of the game.

I've played a lot of crib but my family and friends were always the referees, this was actually really great as a quick refresher of the rules. One thing it left out was to remove the jokers from the deck, probably seems obvious but I had to look it up - No wild cards in crib :) You never know, there are crazier ideas out there, and I'm sure there's a house rule variant out there somewhere

[pyotrleflegin]

Thank you. I used to play this years ago and it was good to refresh my memory. A good, clear video.

[benjaminborup]

As someone who’s never played, this is a great video compared to all of the other confusing videos out there. Thanks!

[alexcitron]

A very good refresher; I haven't played in about 20 years, and now I feel ready to go. For someone who's never played, however, this video would be confusing.
