watched two other videos before this - pegging play for runs was never explained clearly, or for anything outside of a pair. Really appreciate it! Cleared things up for me.
My Father n law showed me how to play. My Mother n law passed away a few years ago so he lost a playing partner and a best friend, so to humor him and give him something to do I learned how to play a little bit. He plays a little different from the normal rules, so I have been watching videos on how to play and your video is the best I have come upon. I like the humor you put into it. I actually enjoy playing this game so much I even made our own cribbage board and ordered a new limited edition playing deck!!! Thank you for this tutorial.
12:14 - Right, because ace is 1/low, not high. Been ~2 decades since I last played cribbage. I learned it playing an old DOS based card game program in my teens.
Wait?!?!?!? No mention of the skunk or double skunk (optional) line. The Skunk line is an option placed at the 90 score point. In tournament or gambling play, it counts for double, making for a two game win or double stakes. A double skunk line is an option placed at the 60 score point, and counts for a 3 game win.
Good call, that’s a good one to cover. I left it for another video because I think it’s best to start by learning to play a single game. What do you think?
Thank you. It's been decades since I've played this, but I remember how fun it was for my partner and I to play and chill with some beers when money was so tight in our 20s.
@cristiesanford1430 You're welcome! That sounds like such a great memory-nothing like some classic cribbage and a few beers to unwind, especially when times were tight. Glad to hear the game still brings back those good vibes!
Ohh that’s a great question! I don’t know for certain, but my best guess is that it comes from Cribbge’s roots as a British Pub game, where stakes were involved. It allowed both players to easily check on each other’s math/scoring to avoid arguments.
Rulies has it right. It’s to avoid problems with miscounting. The Play (pegging) is often a place where people with miscount runs and such, and you want to track where you came from to make corrections.
What got you interested in learning cribbage? I’d love to hear your story!
We're glad you loved the board! It was a pleasure making it for you!

I've been playing incorrectly for two weeks. I wish saw this video first.
This by far is the most helpful video for beginners. Thanks you!
Best explanation yet.. thank you.
Glad it was helpful!

Glad you're back. Hoping for a video on Canasta someday.
Oh that’s a good one! I loved that game back in the day.

Refused to learn this until Rulies did a video on it. Glad I waited!
This tutorial was great and explains more than other videos I have watched. Cribbage is now one of my favorite board games, thank you Rulies!!
Glad to see youre making videos again!
Thank you!
So glad Rulies is back! Always makes my day when I see a new video drop.
Any chance of a rules breakdown for Euchre, Durak, or Hearts?
Those are all great suggestions. I’ll add them to my list.
It'd be cool if you could do a video on Mancala. :)
You're back!
you’re finally back after like 3 years!!!
Hi! Thanks for the comment! I’ll try not to wait three years for my next one I promise. 😆
Yo, amazing 👏 TY.

Do you need a board or can you play with just some paper and pencil?!
PS: Keep these going, you’re great!
Thank you!!! I bet you can make do without a board, but I think a board is really fun.
6:17 Total value of cards need to stay under 32.
This is why I love my viewers. You all never miss a thing. Good Catch! I misspoke! I meant "31 & Under", which is (as you say) "under 32".
Why do you have to now you previous score

That’s numberwang!
We're you able to post the cheat sheet
Yes! There’s a link in the video’s description.
Didn't realize this was big with submarine crews.
I am a pro
Do you play with the ACC?
who else is here because they played years ago on a submarine but now cant remember the rules?
Thank you for your service!
