Excellent tutorial. Thank you much!
Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for watching!
@@JMNCGames My daughter and I had one snag while playing yesterday. Both of us novices! How “wild” is Jack when atop the starter pile? Can you elaborate? We get the nob “point” when Jack is in counting hand and can be paired with starter card suit BUT when Jack is in “heel” position doesn’t it have more potential with your hand? Thanks much!!
@@edread7008 The jack being the face up card on the cut, only serves as a point for the person who turned the card. After that, it doesn't provide any additional benefits. The nob rules are funny. Never really saw any history on the nob, I always just sort of saw it as one of those odd ball rules. But i suppose it is connected to somewhere in it's original history. Like for example in Euchre, the jacks are treated differently, similiar to cribbage in a way. The reason for it, was back when the game was originally played, the jokers were used, and is the reason a modern deck of cards always includes two jokers.
@@JMNCGames Oh, so starter Jack cannot be used in counting card phase for anything else? Is it possible there is variation on this? I swear I saw a video where it could be paired for points if same suit as one in hand? Maybe your rules are the more standard/traditional? Just curious. So to be clear, for that “heels” Jack one can never earn more than one point, correct?
I'm working at the retirement home. One of the residents teach me how to play. Thank you for your sharing this. Im quite a little bit ready to play him on Wednesday. Thank you sir. God bless you more.
You can do it! It takes a few hands to get used to the pattern, and even a few more to start seeing the strategy of which cards to keep and which to throw. I am sure your playing partner will appreciate you learning.
Thank-you! I watched several videos trying to figure out the scoring. I didn't 'get it' until I watched your video.
Thank you for that excellent video
Best tutorial ever. Thank you.
Wow, thanks! I really appreciate it. Thanks for watching!
Very helpful! Great explanations and easy to follow & understand. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Really appreciate it.
Great game. My wife and I just started playing and this helped. I like the board and pegs, it adds a nice tactile element. Thanks!
Glad you like it! It is one of my favorites. I can play it for hours.
You're explaining of the game was very clear as I had played many years ago. However, we counted the pairs before the runs and I looked up elsewhere and it was done that way. Thank you for your simple explanation that brought the game back to me again
i also find it easier in my head to count the pairs before the runs, but you can count in whatever way is easier for you. all i recommend is counting fifteens first, as they tend to be the easiest ones to miss.
There seems to be serious strategy involved in choosing the 2 cards for the crib but no one talks about this? Can you offer some explanation?
I love to play Cribbage. I'm sharing your video with my partner who doesn't know how the game is played. Good video.
Hey thanks for watching. Awesome handle btw. :-) I am glad you enjoyed the video and hope your partner will be able to pick it up as well.

Glad you enjoyed it!
Great, clear, helpful tutorial thanks!
Thanks for watching! and thanks for the comment.
Thanks, really clear and very watchable.
Glad it was helpful!
It’s 1205 here in the upper peninsula of Michigan and I’m learning to play cribbage for a game night tonight I’m really nervous about it thank you Chris you have really helped a lot I feel like I can go in with a little knowledge I’m gonna save your instructions to my phone thank you
Thanks to inform 👍
👍
Thank you Very much. I believe my wife and I will be practicing a new game seeing we both like pinochle. In Cribbage you better be careful so your opponent does get some of your points.
Have fun! yeah you need to have two experienced players before you start stealing points. But once you do, you gotta stay on your toes!
its very nice..thanks to inform
Thanks for liking
Thanks for video🤝😍
Thank you too
Your tutorial is commendable...👍
Many many thanks
Very nice information
So nice of you
My favorite card game and i made a Asterix themed board
That's cool. My favorite crib board I have i got from Alaska. It is massive and the pegs are bullet shells. It's mostly decorative so it hangs on the wall. Thanks for watching and the comment.
My friend was telling me about this. I need to watch multiple times. I'm confused AF😮
Thank you!
You're welcome! it is one of my favorite games.
Good information
Thanks
Good stuff man !!!
Thanks for the visit
Question 1: for a run - can I "roll over" sequentially from K to A? example: Q-K-A (12,13,1) as a run? Or K-A-2 (13,1,2) ?
Question 2: when cutting to determine who plays first, is a K higher than a Q? Both have a value of 10, but does the game acknowledge that the K is higher than a Q?
Your tutorial is commendable...
thank you very much
Well explained 👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
Good play keep it up
Thank you, I will
In the sample hand being scored that shows 3 fives, you only count pairs and 15s. Why don’t you score anything for three of a kind? Also can a run continue into face cards (ex 10, J, Q)? Thank you for a very helpful video.
Hi and thanks for watching. Just double checked the video. I count that hand as having 4 - 15s - 1 five with each matching the king, and then the 3 fives, for a total of 8 points. The three 5s are counted as 6 points for being 3 pairs. A run can be any set of three in order. So yeah a 10, J, Q can be a run. The ace can only be used in a run for 1, 2, 3. Not after a K. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions :-)
Nicely informed
Glad you think so!
It's very nice👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Good work 👍
Thank you so much 😀
good work
Thank you! Cheers!
At 11:40 did he miss the flush? I see a 4 card flush, spades, using the starter card. So score 21 instead of 17? I'm very new at this... Is there a reason why he wouldn't get the flush?
I have a question on scoring. Up card is a 5. Player has 6 7 8 10. Does the player score a 3 card run twice ( 5 6 7, 6 7 8)and a 4 card run ( 5 6 7 8). Or just the 4 card run?
15 for 2 = 10 + 5, 15 for 4 =7+8, a run(5,6,7,8) for 8 is the total score for that hand. You would only only score multiple runs if there were two of the same card within the run. For example say there was 2fives. a 6 and a 7. Then you count 5, 6,7 for 3 and then 5,6, 7 for 6 & the pair of fives makes 8. Hope that makes sense.
@@JMNCGames thanks
It's very good video
Thank you so much 😀
So if the hand I'm tallying at the end of the play is the same hand I was dealt initially, can I just tally my points as soon as I receive my cards after the deal and discard? Seems like it makes sense to calculate my hand at the start of the game.
Well you do wanna calculate in your head for sure, to know which cards are going to be the best to keep and throw to the crib. however the order of play must remain the same as it determines who may go out first. So the scoring of the hand is always done at the end. Hope that makes sense. if not I can try again? :-) thanks for watching.
can you come to our house and physically teach us? I've very confused. LOL
I am sure that could be arranged :-) I can definately help with any questions to help elimate any confusion. I was the same when I learned the game. Took many hands of play to just get the order of everything. And then suddenly, it clicked in my head about the strategy. Let me know if I can help. Thank you for watching.
What is a Nib and a Nob and when do you use them
Thank you for this great video.
I’m struggling to understand how the “Go!” rule works. It’s straightforward when the situation is like in your video. But how does it work when I say go while my opponent has no cards left and I still have cards. Long story short, I’m seeking for a rule of thumb for “Go!” rule. That would be awesome if you add some more example videos.
Cheers.
Firstly, thanks for watching. If in the example you presented, you opponent plays their last card, and you need to say "go" then your opponent would collect the point. You would start a new count and play as far as you can. Once you have played your last card, you would also collect a "Go"for the last card played in that set. So, for the RULE OF THUMB - who ever plays the last card in the set, and that set did not reach 31, then that player collects the GO point. It is quite possible for your opponent to run out of cards and you are still left with 2 cards in your hand. You would play those cards as normal, if you count to 15 or 31 you would get 2. If you don't get to 31, then you will get a GO. hope that helps, and if you want to ask a different example, just let me know. Thanks again!
@@JMNCGames Thank you for your helpful response Chris. Will ask you if I encounter anything confuses us.
We love Cribbage as a family of four. Would love to watch if you record a video, showing the rules of playing it with 3 or 4 people so we stop taking turns :)
Have a great week.
Saki
@@sakiozkaran3489 Okay sure. Sure I can do that. I will make a video on 3 and 4 player. Two player is the most ideal and fun way to play crib, the game changes slightly when you add other players. 3 player everyone is on their own, and 4 player is played with teams. I will have to find a three player crib board :-) might be hard where I live. Once I get that I will get on it.
5:41 GO
:-)
Nice video
Thanks
I used to play I my childhood days
thanks for stopping by
Really easy to understand this tutorial. One question, we are just learning, how do you decide which 2 cards to put in the crib at the beginning?
great question. that answer depends on whether or not it is your crib, or your opponents. From there you decide well these two cards will help me later - my crib - or hurt my opponenets chances of scoring in - their crib.
@@JMNCGames Thank you for your answer. We have learned to play and now I understand that.
Thanks for the tutorial! The one element of the game I’m confused on is the play (after you get 31 or Go)
well once you reach go or 31, that ends the current count. if there are cards remaining in either players hand, a new count begins. the person who did not play the last card starts the count. hope that helps.
@@JMNCGames yep! I think I got it now after playing a ton of rounds on the cribbage app 😁
Great tutorial. I'm finally getting it.
Great to hear! Thanks for watching.
Admirable work....... Get it???
I sea what you did there!
Can you clarify something for me? A player who reaches a count of 31 scores two points, is that correct. However, when scoring a hand 31 is not worth two points, is that also correct? When scoring the hand around minute ten of this video I noticed that all of the cards added up to 31 (three fives, a king and a six). You scored the combinations that added up to 15, and the three pairs of fives, but didn't add two points for the entire hand totaling 31. I just want to be sure I understand when 31 is worth two points and when it's not. Thanks for this terrific video!
The 31 count for 2 points only occurs when the cards are played. The 31 count does not come into play when each hand is counted separately for a score.
what sally said is correct. and thanks for watching.
You didn’t show or tell us how to choose which cards to play in the pile in the beginning
At 12:42, you said, "If a player gets to 121, before the other player gets to 91, that's called a skunk", but the board only goes to 91. How do you get 121?
Hi thanks for the question and also thanks for watching. Towards the begining(2:05) I mention about the different size boards. Boards that go to 91 are travel boards, made for shorter games and to be able to take them on the go. The standard size cribbage board goes to 121. But these are long, and not easily transported. So many people have a travel size board for trips and such. You could use your travel board to play to 121, simply by going back to the start and then going to 31 if you really wanted to play a full game. Hope that helps!
@@JMNCGames 👌
So….. this WAS NOT sponsored by MANSCAPED? Oh……mmmmkay….well…thanks for sharing the state of your body hair….Oh!!! And the Sir John Suckling emphasis was appropriately funny. But thought it should have equally been used for “Rear Admiral Dick O’Caine”…. Get it? GET IT!? I’m just sayin’….
HAHA. sometimes i do jokes just for me, and i am glad that others appreciate it.
6 6 6 9 and 3 cut how is that scored
good question. you have three 15s with the sixes and the nines. 3 more 15s with the sixes and the three, you have 6 points from just the sixes as there are three pairs. no runs. so the total score is 18 points all in.
Your shirt says MANSCAPED?!
Good eyes. 👀
Very nice
Thanks
The announcement of the point has me confused
Do I get 1 for my last on 15
If you were to reach 15 on the last card played, then you would get 3 points. 2 for the 15 and 1 for the go. If I am understanding the question.
Okay i'm going to sell my board way too much..
It takes a while to get the hang of it
Thank you.
You're welcome! and thanks for watching.
how many points for 4 fives
well it would depend on what the 5th card is, but four 5s, would render 3 sets of 15 for six points. Plus you would score 12 more points because of all of the pairs. So if the 5th card was a 10 or better, the total for the hand would be 24. Would be one of the best possible hands in cribbage.
why do you use 2 pegs
The main reason so this is so that you never lose place of where you are on the board when scoring. When you move the back peg, the front peg, always shows where you are currently. If you were to make a mistake when counting, you could run into issues in remembering where you were if you had to backtrack. Thanks for watching!
Am I the only person who caught this? you said the game is played to 121, but your board only goes to 91 :)
I enjoyed the presentation. Thx.
