By far the best cribbage instructions on youtube. We played a round and them watched the instructions again. Good quarantine fun.

Thanks for the simple, easy to follow instructions. I played cribbage one time several years ago but didn’t remember a thing. This brought it all back in short order.

So the scoring is clear for the most part, but I have a question about runs. So I’m the example when it was played 4, 6, 5 they get 3 points; but what if I played another 6; I get a run too, but do I also get to count the other combination that was already played ? And then if the other person plays another 5, all the cards in play would now be “4, 5, 5, 6, 6” so would they get 4 runs of 3 during the pegging play?

I'm an absolute beginner and it's very helpful to get an overview of the game. It would have been even more helpful if you had talked a little slower, to give me time to process what you were saying though. Thanks for the great video!

I have a question that I ran into. If you a the dealerand she plays a 9, then you play a 9, then she plays a 9. You don't have any cards 4 or lower, so you say go. Then she plays an ace then a 2. Do I play out my last three cards or do we reshuffle.

5:46 You said you take your one point but you move the peg like 8 holes???

Even though Jack is 10 it was counted as 11 in the run 9, 10 Jack?

[ggrouchy]

Shouldn't the cards that were played be turned face down once a player gets the go before the next player begins again. Otherwise too many cards are face up adding to confusion.

Ok I get the card part it’s like poker but you loose me when it comes to points and moving the pin🤷🏻‍♀️this is the reason I’ve never been into cribbage, I’m bad w numbers😕

Thanks for these very informational videos. Now i might be able to play properly when i play with my great uncle.

You said that a Go is worth 1 point, but at 5:47 you move your leg forward 10-11 spaces. How can that be?

[SolsticeBeautyByJessica]

At 4:29, doesn’t she have 14? 8+7 for 2, 6+2(8) +7 for 2, 7+2(9) +6 for 2, hearts for 5, run for 3, equaling 14? I’m confused, isn’t the point to get every variation?

Really good video, explains the instructions and the scoring clearly.

[keenanmsc]

What happens if I make 31 with a King as the last card to make 31 and I have another King in my hand? Rules I am reading say that, even though 31 has been reached, the play does not begin again until I have played that 2nd King to make a pair. Is this correct? I say "10 for 31" and then "King for a pair"?

[tracylf]

I want the vid for me: every hand is sh*t, no chance at play, no points in crib. HELP???

[lorie]

Great instructions hard to remember all that lol not clear why you keep cards to make 15

[sgracem]

So you win when you get all three pegs go the finish?
