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 .

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!

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.
@steverouleau86422 жыл бұрын
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.
@steverouleau86422 жыл бұрын
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

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.

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.

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...

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

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".
