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.
any recommendations?
its been too long for me :P i cant even remember
This video reminds me why I don’t want to learn this game. 🤣
lazy twat @@tigersden1421
That's what I thought . I'll keep watching it all the way through . I haven't played in decades . When I was 3 years old, my father taught me cribbage , crazy 8s , auction 45 ( I think that was its name ) , a game that each player had 3 cards, and the object the game was to get 31 of the same suit ( I can't remember it's name ) and , a game that you made runs of the same suit & 3 ( or 4 ) of the same number ( I can't remember it's name either ) . I'll go back to watching this refresher video now . I still have questions .
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!
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! :)
Not saying it isn’t a good explanation. I pick up games pretty fast and this one has always been difficult to understand for me
It was a good refresher video . I haven't played cribbage in decades . I'm not sure that I would call cribbage a hard game , tho . My father taught me how to play it when I was 3 years old . We'd play for pennies .
Guy who created cribbage: "How many random and complicated rules do you want?"
The players: "Yes."
Yup, i have to learn this in one day , for my tutoring😑
This is comedy gold!
I'm more confused than before I clicked.
I agree. I learned how to play against a computer. Easier to learn and the computer counts the points.
Oh thank God....I thought I was the only one who didn't understand.
Oh dear this doesn't bode well. I came to this video for help 😂
@@Fishtank33 we all did
For real this is probably the worst explanation I have ever seen
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.
It’s quite big in the RN too, but I hear it’s quite the USN tradition. I much prefer it to Uckers. F*** Uckers! Blasphemy for a matelot but there you go.
I was a merchant seaman from 79-85. Someone was always playing cribbage in the mess hall. I just got a 2nd hand board free. Gotta brush up on the rules.
Hooyah Navy!!!
I looked this up be I saw that this game was played a lot during WWII
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.
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. 💁🏻
same here. Great refresher video. (and it's nobs not knobs l.o.l.)
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
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!
Could *have asked for.
It's been about 10 years since I've played this game. Good to have the refresher
Thank you. I used to play this years ago and it was good to refresh my memory. A good, clear video.

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
lol That's exactly why I'm here. It does (the game) seem kind of convoluted but I'm willing to give it a try.
Well this did not happen
I hope so...
Yeah, there's a rich history of cribbage aboard subs. I hear the oldest commissioned sub has a historic cribbage board of some type.
Surface ships, too. I learned how to play while serving in the Navy.
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.
As someone who’s never played, this is a great video compared to all of the other confusing videos out there. Thanks!
There are more confusing one. Ahh.. f**k
The king of card games, and my favorite.
As a kid I played cribbage with my Dad. This tutorial helped some. I remember it being a very difficult game to learn.
I just recently got into playing this thanks to my fiancé’s grandfather. This video is helpful but much more so if you have already played at least a few games. Thanks for this! It helped me clear up a few areas I was unsure about.
Agree!
I downloaded a free cribbage game to practice. That, plus this video, really helps. I used to play this with my grandad and want to teach my kids to keep the tradition alive.
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.
Thank you. I haven't played cribbage since I was a kid. This was a perfect reminder tutorial. Thank you. 😊
How in the hell did you understand this as a kid? It is making my head spin...too much math in this game for me.
@@Day12My I learned when I was 7, so, yeah 🙂
Me and my mom played our first game together with help from this video. Thank you so much, you made our new years eve memorable. :)
i've never played before. this video makes sure that i still won't.
Learned with friends, terrific game
Ha! same.
It can be intimidating. So many ways to score points.
I've never understood it. My parents used to play this frequently at weekends and did try to show me but I was so lost then and not much has changed, I guess its just not for me!
Yea this dude is crazy boring
I used to play Cribbage all the time with my dad from the time I was young through high school. After that, not so much. Occasionally, but not a lot. It amazes me how much I've forgotten since then, but encourages me how quickly it's coming back...
Anyone else still not know how to play?
Mr. ShyRyHud me
Mr. ShyRyHud
Me.
this vid doesnt make sense to me
at all
Yeah I hate tutorials that use lingo that would only make sense to people who know how to play
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.
When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!
Thanks mate , havent played for years but this bought it all back, good one.
Thanks 😊 you've helped me with the jack ruling.
Thanks! This video helped to re-learn the scoring for this game.
i tried playing by reading the instruction that came with the set, but this video helped out a bunch
We just tried the same thing with a travel set and we were miles off
Thanks for the video.. I have played since I was a child, but haven't played since covid, so I needed.. everything fell back into place... Thank you
Been playing for sixty years, and never used three pegs. Also, once you're in the last five, you can't take the two points for a jack coming up. Another thing is in the crib for a flush to count all five cards have to be the same suit.. 😯
The standard rules say you can take the two for his heels point at any time. Even to win the game.
When the dealer flips a jack the dealer is awarded 2 points on the board no matter where the peg is.
@@dtecum Standard rules say yes. Anywhere I've played in Canada thelocal rule is not to take it in the last five. It is acceptable as long as all players agree...
Learned to play cribbage from my late first father in law in 1967. Love the game have to play vs computer now all my friends who played have passed.
Very good video. Slow and easy to understand. Will play my first games of cribbage tomorrow.
Have fun!
Have spent countless hours playing this fascinating and obscure gem of a game. It is ideal for 2 or 3 players
THANK YOU! My girlfriend and I have been playing for a while and this clears up a few questions.
“And be sure to divide the point total based on suit count by the relative humidity....”
I played in military forgot just needed a refresher thanks it helped alot
As the guy said, practice improves your game. Believe me, it's not such a difficult game as it appears.
Cribbage was taught to me by my sister, who learned it from our father. So glad I met my sister who is a math wiz. Cribbage will keep me close to the family I loss and found. Try it, it's fun.
Great video! It's been awhile since I played so I needed a refresher 😊
Thank you for this video! I suggest zooming in on some of the cards when playing runs etc cos that was the only part mum and I were confused. Thanks again.
Great video. Helped a lot. Once, my wife and I played a few rounds it became easier. Thanks
In this video the fella forgot two thing to explain. In your crib . You can only count your flush in your crib meaning all same card the top card has to match this same suit for the flush to be counted. And if you have a jack in your crib and has the same suit as the top card you can get a knob for one point for that. So when explaining how cribbage is played you need to include that as well.
And also explain what kind of hands that you can get and can't get. so when someone who plays has nothing in their hand they say they have a hand of 19. Because you can't get a 19 hand. And the same thing you can't get a hand of 25 26 or 27. And the best hand in the whole game is 29.
And finally by the rules of the game. A run has to follow in order to be counted as. Like ace two three is a run. But you can't count if someone puts a two then you put a three then he puts an ace. That doesn't count as an actual run
My father and I shared few things when I was a kid. Playing cribbage was one. This video makes me happy. I can't help but hear his voice say, "Fifteen: two... And the rest won't do."
This is not an explanation on how to play Cribbage. This are just dry rules that are useless unless you played the game already.
Thanks for making this video - I played this as a teenager (a long while back) so I forgot the rules - I'm looking forward to playing again
Practicing w computer cribbage is good to see combos and stuff to solidify the rules here (i didnt understand nobs till this video, but it was an easy rule), then play w friends/family
Nice work my man! Great video for a refresher
At the beginning, during "Pegging Play", you overlooked the point for "his nob" when a Jack of the same suit as the starting card was presented.
Best explanation by far! Thank you
I've probably already asked this one but have forgotten the answer.
If you have three cards of the same suit in your hand and they match the "starter" card, does that count as a four card flush, or do all four hand cards have to be the same suit for it to be a flush?
The four cards in your hand have to match suits for the four card flush. The “starter” card can be added as a fifth point if it is the same suit.
@@GatherTogetherGames Thanks again, I'll get the hang it eventually (with your help).
so helpful not even the teacher her self could teach me. so great joy😀😀😀😀
A great card game. My dad taught me this, and several other card games, when I was a young lad in the late 60s.
Can he teach me, I'm more confused
Thank you. I have been trying to read how to play but this makes it so much easier. One query, I take it when pegging that you don't reveal your hand to your opponent. You keep it concealed?
Well done, love Cribbage.
WHAT a great video, my memory of cribbage from years ago was lost, this has totally put me back in the game! thank you
You forgot to mention the crib and flushes. The crib must match the turn card as to the suited aspect, just having four suited cards in the crib does not count, it needs to match the turn card suit.
I finally learned by installing a free cribbage app on my phone. This video didn't help me but playing did. I now play with my daughter.
Great refresher! Thank you.
Best video tutorials for card games on the net. I'm so impressed that I watched everything even though I already know how to play most of them. Amazing work. Thanks a lot!
By the way, why did you disable the search button? I know there's only a few videos, but I hope that with time there'll be enough for the search button to be useful. Please keep it up!
Thanks for the video my kids and I played our first game tonight it was fun. Didn't have all the rules down yet but with this video we will get it. Thanks again.
Thanks You So Much!..been Years since we played & I Just Got My Hubby a New Board...So Appreciate you making & Taking The Time to Make this Video Tutorial...{{hugs}}
Where did you get the pegging please????
Sorry I meant the peggi g board.
Mike Marshall .. very nice boards available on Etsy or try a thrift shop.
When a "go" is reached or a 31 if everybody flipped the played cards over it would be easier to start the play again. That is what I teach.
Wow - this is a really complex game and I am so grateful for this tutorial. We had a beautiful Canadian cribbage set in our household when I was growing up. I have just ordered my own one and I shall be revisiting this tutorial many times to get to grips with it. Is it at all possible to play it solo? Or would you just have to play both hands? Cheers.
Hoyle's rules of games includes a solitaire version of cribbage where you basically go through the deck and count a hand and the crib. Deal six to yourself and two to the table, discard two to the table, flip a starter, and just count both hands. 85 is the average, 121 beats it. Hasn't happened to me, so it's better to try and force a significant other. Only get to play in jail, but I'm always shuffling. Hoped you got it down! It's like learning a language, you just gotta jump in.
Thanks for the refresher
I need to get this figured out before my first submarine deployment
I haven't played in years and this is a good refresher.
any chance you can do a video on how to play crosscrib?
I just bought this game and your video makes me want to throw it away.
_I am at the same situation right now!_
Good video, thanks. I've learned just as much from your answers to Stuart Robinson's great questions.
Thank to the both of youse.
Well explained! Thank you …I had forgotten how to play but I t’s like riding a bike!
Ty!!! Best video ive seen
Great video very helpful going to play now !
A great card game, with all kinds of room for the growth of one's prowess over time. Two very minor physical additions would, I think, improve play ever so slightly: 1) Have a card receptacle for the deck at the end of the cribbage board, and (similarly) 2) Have a physical card crib that is passed around to whomever is dealing that time around. It would be essential that these containers be extremely accessible as far as the scooping out of the cards after each hand, but surely that needn't be a problem. I find that with no containers sometimes the stacks of card gets a bit chaotic or temporarily confusing.
Great Video!! Thank you very much!
So do you draw more cards at any point? Are you supposed to hide your cards or leave your hand out? What is a knob?
The video doesn't mention how to move the pegs to keep score (i.e. by moving the back peg ahead of the front peg), the use of the third peg to mark the number of games won, the skunk line, or Muggins. Some people call a jack of the same suit "his nibs", not "his nobs", and if the dealer flips up a jack it is usually referred to as "his heels".
It might be less confusing to use the terms "dealer" and "pone" (i..e. non-dealer) consistently instead of "player one" and "player two".
Yeah what was muggins ...uai used to play this game in high school now i don’t remember
Whats with the 2 pegs????? More info pls
This was very helpful, thanks for making this.
Grandma taught me to play this when I was five or six (though I don’t remember anything except it was fun and the word 'knobs'). It can't actually be that hard, but gee...
What deck are you using here? I really like the backs!
Really easy to follow, great instructions - thank you!!
After reading the instructions that came with the game and still having no idea how to play I watched this video… and these instructions were so helpful.
I believe that there’s also a rule that if you miss points and the other player catches the mistake they get the points that were supposed to be yours. At least that’s how my grandad taught me (my wife and I expect he was making rules up to help himself win 😉).
That rule does exist. But, as far as I know, only in tournament play. It takes most of the fun out of playing among friends. Unheard of among friends. I've played quite a lot for the past 60 years. Maybe someone knows if cribbage is largely a New England game? When I was in the army, 4 of us played regularly. All from N.E. Most of the other guys had never even heard of it. In 60 years, only witnessed 1 hand of 29..
I grew up in new Hampshire, there would be once in awhile a cribbage tournament at the knights of columbus council hall that I belonged too in milford,nh
Yes. That is called "Muggins"
Cribbage is a very simple game. It's called using basic mathematics. For an example, if you have two 6's, two 4's in your hand and a 5 comes up then you will have 24 points. Anything that ads up to 15 will give you 2 points. So, you have two 6's and two 4's in your hand and a 5 up. So 4+6+5=15. You do that 4 times. That will now give you 8 points of 15 2's Now you have 8 points. You have 2 sets of runs with the 5 up. So the two 4's and two 6's with the 5 will give you another 12 points. So you add those 12 points to the runs with the 8 points of the 15 2's you will now have 20 points. Then count the pairs. You have two 4's and two 6's. 2 points for the two 4's and 2 points for the two 6's. That's another 4 points. You add those 4 points to the 20 points and you will have 24 points
I thought 15a were the addition of amy 2 cards only.
Excellent explanation! Thank you 😊
Very helpful. Thanks!
I followed this well. Thank you!
Maybe start with an explanation of the game's rules/objectives? there's no way to jump in an play after this video.
Thanks for the help. Always wanted to play and now I can!
It would be very helpful to mention after the dealer is determined to identify them as not only player one or two but also which one is the dealer as the hand is being played out so beginners understand who's playing first and why. I know how to play crib and I'm trying to teach my gal and thought I'd show her some videos as someone might be a better teacher than I but you only confused her more.
You need more attention to detail, you're assuming that people already know why the hand proceeds the way it does.
Great review. One other thing to mention is that if someone fails to count all of their points, the other player is entitled to those points.
That is the muggins rule and is decided on before start of play.
Nice deck choice. One of my personal favorites.
Another excellent post! However with respect "Nobs" should be "Nob". Speaking as a British person hailing from the city of the family that invented Cribbage the term that our American cousins use is incorrect. You score "Two for his heels" because, obviously, a person has two heels. Nob in this case is the old English term for "Head" therefore the correct term is "One for his nob".
Cribbage terms have slipped into the English lexicon i.e. "Pegged out" "Streets ahead" (the blocks of 5 peg holes are known as "Streets") and where the American term "Skunk" or "Skunked" is used, the term still used in the UK is "Lurch" or " Lurched" therefore the term "Left in the lurch" has entered the lexicon thanks to Cribbage...
Hey thanks man! This was super helpful. Keep it up!
After a “go” who plays the next card?
The player to the left of "last go" person.
Great tutorial. Thank you!!
Can you win by cutting a Jack? What about flushes in hand and crib? Is it 4 in the hand and 5 in the crib? What about the stink hole rules?Do you have to peg out with only 1 point? What about no last card point on 31 but there is on 15? When cutting for crib is the ace high or low? When making runs is the ace high, low or either but not both? Thanks. PS Nice video.
Do J Q K count as 10 for a run if you have 8,9? Or just 10 counts for the run
My family plays this all the time but I never caught on, figured I’d try watching a video
