How to Play Cribbage Properly (Complete Rules)

[@Rulies]

What got you interested in learning cribbage? I’d love to hear your story!

[@35o125]

I saw the board and and wondered what it is. wished to play it with my son.

[@robertewalt7789]

@@35o125I learned numbers, and adding, by playing cribbage, mostly with my father. By college, I taught many of my dorm mates to play.

[@lamablushes6427]

I went to by a go game and so it find it interesting 🤷‍♀️❤😊

[@stevenappelget3564]

I started playing because it was the game everybody in the family played. I got good at it by playing penny-a-point with my grandfather.

[@johnbleichert8322]

We bought a cribbage board and then sold our house and move to a new city. The new board got boxed up and forgotten about for 3 years. Re-discovered the board while opening some old boxes in the basement. We play lots of 2 player games: cribbage seems like a natural fit 👍 Also very easy to pack up and take on vacation!

[@ebonwood]

We're glad you loved the board! It was a pleasure making it for you!

[@sukaenacornelius9285]

Just started playing this game. I play alot of rummy with family or spades. But my husband and I learned and play with my sister who lives with us. Its great. I don’t like going out anymore at all. Games on Friday and now here soon is fun.

[@JosieStev]

My shoe repair guy was a Cribbage champion. He had many Cribbage boards along all four walls of his shop. They were very beautiful wooden boards carved with Elks, mountain scenes, and trees. Sadly, he had a heart attack and died before he was 70. 😢 He told me a trick for getting white salt stains off of leather. Wipe it with plain vinegar. The next time I went to him, I gave him a small bottle and he was so thankful for such a small gesture. Nice man

[@zelphx]

Bottle of what?

[@StizelSwik]

@@zelphx UM... vinegar... "read between the lines" and you'll get a lot more understanding in life.

[@Rulies]

Sounds like he was an interesting guy! Thanks for sharing.

[@Fram_CR]

@@StizelSwik chill dude

[@WhiteSpatula]

My best friend and I used to play cribbage all the time. The tricky part was getting others to join in because we played FAST and that tended to intimidate. But it’s really just like any other game or sport or hobby centered on muscle memory and pattern recognition; just go slow and steady, and soon enough your brain will pick up the pace all on its own. We actually got impatient with our pegboard. It was slowing us down, man! Especially when the pegs would stick a little. So we found these little children’s abacus toys, and learned to use them instead. We would fly through games, playing multiples of 121. Wow. This brings back memories. Thanks & Cheers!

[@GDPanda69]

My parents used to play cribbage a lot once upon a time, and are from northern MN where they call the nob a "designer jack", which always sounded fun to me.

[@dannobee1]

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.

[@Rulies]

Hope you and your father-in-law have many fun games ahead!

[@tenthlegionstudios1343]

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.

[@Rulies]

Glad to hear it! It’s one of the trickier parts of cribbage.

[@GrashUriza]

Great starting tutorial. I hope you make a part 2 to cover more of the common terms and scoring patterns in more detail with strategy.

[@Shridra]

Thank you for making this video. I played with my parents as a young girl, and then we played a lot when I worked at a care home - once our work was done in the evening I'd sit down with some residents and we'd all play together. It's been a while since I last played, but I just got a board for playing with my husband so I needed a refresher =) my 4 year old got the first game though LOL

[@HeidiDenoble]

I learned cribbage 50 years ago and consider myself to be very good. One of the things that is important is learning to play defense. Sometimes you have to short your hand in order to prevent a large payoff in the dealers crib. Also you must be able to see all the possibilities in order to be able to know what to discard. In pegging always be aware what the other person in throwing as it will increase your pegging score.

[@Rulies]

Solid advice, thanks for sharing!

[@robertaitchison9029]

Excellent explanation. Been playing the game for 50 years now and still love it. Learned it in my student apartment when we were fed up with homework. We say 1 for his nob (singular). Strategy is another thing entirely. All about probability and what your opponent may be holding, which really applies mostly in the open play. Also, you don't want to throw easy points into your opponents crib (local slang - the crib was called the box!).

[@richardtaylor8165]

Ah, that brings it all back! I still have my Grandad's Dad's crib board from yesteryear. Was taught by my Grandad, Gran & Dad, all of whom played. Sadly all are gone now, but a good tutorial.

[@reedr7142]

I’ve learned a lot of card games, but cribbage has been my favorite for decades. I learned when I was about 12, and have been enjoying it ever since. I’ve been one of the lucky few to get the 29 hand 🙂

[@pierrefrebet5630]

Wonderful video to discover your channel and learn about a game i've never heard of ! I'd love to see a part two about strategies and 3 and 4 players version !

[@michaelwant8501]

I've reached 75 years of age without understanding cribbage. This excellent tutorial has changed all that! Just downloaded a rather good app from Google Play and am looking forward to a lot of fun. I like games that are part chance, part skill, and the key factor is maximising the chances via strategy. Many thanks for this 😊

[@Rulies]

Glad it helped!

[@Niki1968-s2f]

We always had a cribbage board but I didn’t learn to play until my father taught my son. It’s a fabulous game. I actually got me a new handmade fold up board for Christmas. I love the board you’re showing, the color of the track is my favorite.

[@StizelSwik]

it's sad your father didn't teach YOU! That in itself would have been amazing.

[@johnbleichert8322]

Great video - really enjoyed it. Hard to get started on this game without someone around who's played before. Subscribed - looking forward to part 2!!!

[@lymanleslie3097]

This video is the best explanation of cribbage! Thanks!

[@Rulies]

Glad I could help!

[@1wheeldrive751]

I’ve played this game for over 60 years now (I’m 67, and my parents played). My three adult children all play, for the same reason, and their children (our grandchildren) play. It is a great game of chance and strategy. When I was a teen and worked at my father’s woodworking business in summers, we played at lunch every day as a foursome. Lunch was only a half hour, but we got more than one game in. Left the pegs in place for tomorrow. The motto was: “play fast, make mistakes”, which I tried my best to avoid. A few years later when I was in the Navy, I found a few shipmates that knew the game. When you are looking for ways to while away a six month cruise to the Mediterranean Sea, cribbage is an asset. We played a lot. Thanks for your video. It reminded me how much it has meant to me through the years.

[@dannyabbott2411]

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!

[@Rulies]

Glad I could help! I bet you'll be an expert in no time.

[@centexan]

I started playing cribbage when I was about eight years old, a very long time ago. I don't know how many different kinds of boards I've had over time. My dad taught me to play. And Mom and Dad played cribbage well into their late 80's. They had recliners side my side in the den and would set the cribbage board on one of the arms.

[@Rulies]

What a wonderful story! Sounds like you come from a family of cribbage enthusiasts!

[@centexan]

@Rulies We played a lot of different cars games growing up. My favorite two person games are Cribbage and Casino. When I visit my older son now, he often pulls out his cribbage board and we'll play a game or two.

[@willow4191]

This is the third video I've watched, and by the best.

[@Rulies]

Thank you!

[@Kaizer_Kaz]

Got cribbage for Christmas and found your video. Thank you for simplifying the game!!!

[@Rulies]

Cribbage is such a fun game. Enjoy!

[@funtimewithlenny]

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!!

[@assasin096]

The algorithm brought me here. I only played for one day at camp fourteen years ago. Before then, I only saw the board at stores, but I had no idea what it could possibly be for. I saw it again in the board games bin at camp, so I went to the nearest teacher (as this was a school trip), and he told me to ask my homeroom teacher about it. He taught me how to play with an incomplete deck that was also in the bin. I got completely dunked, of course. I don't think I noticed it, but someone took a photo of me playing with my teacher, and that made it to the trip photo collage. I haven't touched it since. It's really weird that the algorithm served me this when I don't usually talk about cribbage, and I haven't exactly been seeking it out. Truly, life works in mysterious ways.

[@TheMagicFellow]

Refused to learn this until Rulies did a video on it. Glad I waited!

[@maplesyrupphilosopher6886]

No idea how this found its way into my recommended but I used to play this game with my grandpa all the time, haven't played now in nearly 30 years. Thanks for the memories 👍

[@Rulies]

That's awesome! Glad this video could help you connect with those memories.

[@btoadflax]

Glad you're back. Hoping for a video on Canasta someday.

[@Rulies]

Oh that’s a good one! I loved that game back in the day.

[@Sdize]

Glad to see youre making videos again!

[@Rulies]

Thank you!

[@peterbradburn9115]

My Grandad taught me Crib as a nipper, and then used to play for hours with the old boys in the pub when was a bit older. Not played it in donkeys years, but pretty sure we always just knocked if we couldn't go. Don't remember being able to steel unclaimed points, but you certainly didn't get the points if you didn't spot them, much to your opponent's glee. Like the Shipping Forecast, there's still a nostalgic poetry in fifteen once, fifteen twice and a pair's six

[@johnshaw6702]

Watched for fun. Pretty good. 1. I might have missed it, but a flush in the crib is only valid if the turn card is of the same suet. Example: 4 harts in crib + a turn card of harts = 5 harts = 5 points. 2. The reason 3 of a kind is worth 6 points is because it represets 3 pairs. 4 of a kind is 6 pairs or 12 points.

[@Rulies]

Thanks so much for watching and for the great points! 1. I did mention the flush rule but worded it a bit differently-check out 12:35 in the video. 2. You’re spot on about why 3 of a kind is worth 6 points (3 pairs) and 4 of a kind is worth 12 points (6 pairs). I left that detail out to keep things simple and avoid overwhelming viewers since there’s already a lot to cover. I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts!

[@alexrobertson2526]

3:45 here in Scotland and in some areas of France we would shout “one for his nob” and peg 1 point 😂

[@jaada1968]

Best explanation yet.. thank you.

[@Rulies]

Glad it was helpful!

[@debupton77]

Loved this video! Where is Part 2 (Cribbage Strategies)?

[@kippertoo]

I grew up with my parents playing this every Saturday night. They taught us in the 70’s when we got interested and all of us kids play to rhis day. 🥰

[@SBFay01]

I know how to play cribbage, but watched to dbl check myself. I was doing fine until during player Attenborough versus Bowie they swapped pegging tracks. At around 9:13 Attenborough starts scoring "six for two" (a pair) in the left/silver track. At 9:27, Bowie scores "nine for six" in the right/gold track. At 9:32, Attenborough says "15 for two" and pegs in left/silver track. At 9:40, Attenborough scores again saying "24 for 4" (a run of four) and pegs in left/silver. Bowie says "Go", so at 9:50 Attenborough says "31 for 7" (a run of five plus 2 for 31), but incorrectly pegs using the right/gold track. At 10:07, Bowie says "one for last" and now also incorrectly pegs using left/silver track. At first I couldn't understand how silver was doing so poorly. Tough to illustrate multiple players with only one person.

[@Rulies]

Oh yeah! Good eye for catching that! Will leave a note in my follow up.

[@YouTellemFrosk]

Two for his ‘nob’ is what I was taught. Nob meaning posh or that sort of status I guess

[@patwieferich3541]

I have been playing cribbage since I was kid (I'm now 60). It was my dad's 2nd favorite card game (behind Pinochle. I never got the hang of that one though). This was an excellent tutorial & I will use to teach my son's new girlfriend. One thing I always hear when teaching someone is "you're making that up". This tutorial should help eliminate that 🙂. Also, thanks for the "cheat sheet"

[@osvaldorangel833]

you’re finally back after like 3 years!!!

[@Rulies]

Hi! Thanks for the comment! I’ll try not to wait three years for my next one I promise. 😆

[@LindaLehmann-y8l]

This is great! Thank you. My husband and I used to play many years ago. There was no internet back then, and we just winged it from the instructions in the box. He is blind now - and we can't play anymore. I miss it and have started playing on the computer. I wanted to learn more about strategies. Going to watch some more of your vids. VERY well done. Informative and fun to watch!!! If you find a way for a blind guy to play - let me know. I have tried braille cards - but he is a guitarist and the callouses are too built up for him to discern the bumps very well.

[@Rulies]

Thank you so much for your kind words-it’s wonderful to hear my video brought back those memories! I understand the challenge with braille cards due to callouses. Have you considered braille dominoes? The raised dots on a braille domino might be easier to feel. Trivia games could also be a fun option-there are so many out there, and you might find one that works well for both of you. I’ll keep an eye out for creative ways to make card games more accessible. Thanks for sharing your story, and I hope you and your husband find new ways to enjoy games together!

[@LindaLehmann-y8l]

@@Rulies So far - the trivia games have been good. Some of the dice games have worked well, too. The dominoes is a good suggestion. I'll look around for those. If they don't have them - I'll make them. You would not believe what I can do with hot glue! LOL.

[@stevendezwaan5707]

My grandpa taught me cribbage when I was a little kid. We played who knows how many games and I can't recall who won more but that's irrelevant to me. Lots of fond memories of us with a cribbage board and a deck of cards.

[@Parsethal]

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?

[@Rulies]

Those are all great suggestions. I’ll add them to my list.

[@Dr.Pepper001]

When I was a young man I played this game a lot. I'm 78 now and haven't played it in a few decades. I've forgotten 95% of what I used to know.

[@telvox]

at the 9:00 minute mark, did you give the third run points to the wrong side? you had A as silver and they got the first two runs, but moved copper got the third one when they all were played by A. am I seeing this wrong?

Good eye! You are right.

[@lenku]

[@Rulies]

That is a great idea! I’ll add it to my list.

[@methamphetamelon]

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.

[@custa73burner]

I discovered crib as a 16 year old shipbuilding apprentice back in the 1970's. The lunchbreak games were, cribbage, fives and threes which is played with dominoes and scores by making the ends add up to multiples of 5 or 3 and we also played another card game called Napoleon, which is a 5 player whist style game played with only half the pack. Playing games with enormous very strong men quickly taught you to be a humble winner, and not to be a sore loser. Both good life lessons.

[@thecandyman5321]

I've seen a few videos of yours it's great stuff could you make a video about euchre id love to understand that game

[@Rulies]

Thanks, Euchre is on my to do list!

[@ExaltedSeahawksFan]

Great video! Would love if you could make a tutorial of a card game they played in the old west times called 'faro'.

[@troypost4033]

I have one of the bicycle sets i got prior to iraq 1990. Still has sand in it and very well used from back in our army days. Of course, we changed many rules to speed up the game and lots of money exchanged hands. One rule was a point for 30 and 31. Between crib and spaids, that's all we had to entertain us. Well, walkmans and game boys

[@KimberlyLachman]

Thank you! Great video! You mentioned a second video on strategy for cribbage. I couldn't find it. Can you share the address link?

[@Rulies]

Coming soon!

[@sailordude2094]

I cant believe I played this on my navy ship. So complicated! Thanks for the video, my wife is now interested (because I played this video, thanks!) 40 years after I played it and now cant remember the rules, lol.

[@Rulies]

That is awesome! Thank you for your service!

[@AviatorWest]

Great video, this covered pretty much everything I was unsure about after watching other videos / reading rules, thanks. One minor correction, I think there's a typo in your scoring reference sheet, it says heels scores 1 point, when the video says 2

[@BAM-jc7uy]

MY dad learned to play cribbage at brooks army hsp, tx in late 40s...after his death, I learned to play in HS with his board and all my kids and grandkids all learned and played the game when they were 7 or 8...and when we get together..."Let the games begin!" For years, I was a crib board collector, all sizes, types, lengths, etc and pegs...and when I'm gone, my fam will find filled bins of different boards. I love seeing the sanded "repainted" boards with muted tri-colors. It would have been cool to have a (possibly portable?) crib game table with the crib board(s) inserted/built-in for 2 to x persons to peg and still have the card layout at the center. The other game that was a must learn for the kids at a very early age was Cassino. albuq.

[@jeffthevideoguy23]

[@SanchoPanza-wg5xf]

I used to play Cribbage with my high school friends. We also played Hearts. It was the '90s and we were all geeks.

[@Jeremy-f3s]

That's cos everyone was playing hearts on the 90s windows systems on the computer (not just geeks) but I haven't heard of anyone from Gen Y (of which I belong) playing cribbage

[@Skeezik1998]

This game looks super fun and competitive, but it's so complicated!

[@wormswithteeth]

Only ever heard of Cribbage thanks to Karl Pilkington. He'd play it with his parents. I'm invested now.

[@sadieenward3865]

André the Giant used to play cribbage in the locker room all the time. I always wondered what it looked like. Apparently, he was really good, too. Just picture André knocking back a 24 pack and winning everybody's money at cribbage before shows, haha.

[@Rulies]

Not just brawn, brains too!

[@kjwwilson5619]

The one rule that causes great arguments in our family (4 boys), is playing multiple runs in the rummy portion of the game. For example if the play was 1-2-3 the 3 played would be 3 points. But if the next player played 2, half of the family says to peg nothing but the other half says double run of 3 for 6 points. Do you count multiple runs in the rummy portion as you do in the count portion?

[@meo8260]

No, the second two that was played is out of turn, meaning that the first two blocks the ace that was played. The only way to continue the run would be for another ace or a four instead of the second two. Kinda sounds like a word salad, sorry, but hopefully this explains it. A double run is only for counting your hand and crib.

[@greglandry6379]

Excellent! I thought you could play out of order runs in the round to 31. Backgammon is fantastic. All the best laid plans ruined by throws of 2 and 1.

[@cdpond]

I've never seen players lay their cards on top of each other in the center. Usually you just lay your cards opposite each other, which makes it much less confusing when it comes time for the scoring phase.

[@tyfude]

During the scoring round, does the dealer combine their play hand and crib cards together for combinations? Or do they score each hand separately against the starter card? Thank you.

[@lesclark830]

I played during lunch time at the Rover car factory back in the 1960's , difficult to find card players now... still have a 100 y o board.

[@sdube001]

I honestly cannot remember a time I didn't play cribbage. My mother started me on the game at probably about 5 or 6 to help me learn addition. My mother, a woman who didn't graduate high school, had me reading and learning basic arithmetic before I set foot in kindergarten.

[@PDX-Red]

12:10 My dad taught me that ace could be high or low (no K-A-2) but never said it was a house rule 🤣 I grew up thinking that it was part of the official rules.

[@EmerlyNickel]

It'd be cool if you could do a video on Mancala. :)

[@redhedkev1]

I remember this as a New England favorite card game

[@howieduin915]

When I was in basic training anout a hundred years ago, 3of us played regularly. All of us from New England. Nobody else in our barracks had even heard of the game. So I came to believe that it was only known about in the northeast.

[@NatetheNerdy]

Gotta be honest, a lot of the rules sounded like the poet made them up on the spot to win a game. "My hand is a flush, I get 4 points, the same as your flush." "Actually my flush includes the turn up card, so mines worth more." Later "I can make a flush with the turn up card." "Actually you can't, they only add to flushes. Also my Jack matches suit with the turn up so that's bonus points for me."

[@engineerauthorpilot]

Been playing for 55 years. Hard to find anyone now who knows how to play or wants to play. I now play using a phone app. 😊

[@cassandragough]

If you don't have a cribbage board, you can always just score to 121 on paper. I love crib, it's a great game. Seems from these rules though we have been doing one thing wrong; if the last score at "go" is 15 or 31 we have always scored "15/31 for 2 go's 3". Oh well, old habit we are unlikely to change!

[@MattapoisettinLA]

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.

[@Rulies]

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?

[@cristiesanford1430]

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.

[@Rulies]

@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!

[@GrashUriza]

​@@Rulies there's alot you brushed over or didnt mention that would easily covered in a second video. Would love to see you do it.

[@HubrisInc]

​@@Rulies even if you aren't scoring multiple games the skunk and double skunk are good for bragging rights

[@merlon8599]

12:05 Why doesn't it also count as two runs of 3?

[@Rulies]

@merlon8599 You only score the longest run, smaller runs within it don’t get extra points. For example, if you have 4, 5, 6, 7, you score 4 points for the 4-card run, not separate points for 4, 5, 6 or 5, 6, 7. However, if one card changes, you can score it as a separate run.

[@asdfjoe123]

Link to Part 2? It's been 4 months I've been waiting.

[@lindasuddes3159]

How was it 31 for 7

[@RowanTS]

Why am I here? Why do I understand the rules of cribbage now?? Why did the algorithm pick this up and was it literally just because you said ‘pegging’ a bunch of times cus you’d think that would have the opposite effect???

[@neonskypi6784]

Idk, man, but we're in the same boat. My theory is that this must be one of those new alternate dimension channel services google and youtube offers now. I'm pretty sure this game did not exist in our reality before a few months ago as I've never even heard of 'cribbage'. 10/10 would watch again.👌

[@billym7]

In the first sample hand, did you accidentally move the wrong pegs? It just confused me for a second, other than that, this was an amazing explanation!

[@brianstraus6656]

Do you not get double and triple runs during the count? The 4 and the 7 are a triple run of 4 and 5 respectively aren't they?

[@theninjustice138]

Quick question. Per chance, is your brother Rouxls Kaard?

[@Rulies]

Yes! I messed up the pegging in that scene a couple of times. 😅 Haha, should I call it a win that I explained the game well enough for people to catch it?!

[@Moe_Fogerty]

Where did you get all this information from?

I did not read all the comments, but we play it with a 3 peg bonus for the pone, to even out the crib. So every hand the pone gets 3 pegs.

[@johnc7389]

I didn't know I wanted to know how to play Cribbage before 15mins ago

[@derekroberts6654]

The first and only time i heard about Cribbage was from a Monkees episode, the last one in fact…😆

[@JustFilmStudios]

Why do you have to now you previous score

[@Rulies]

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.

[@HuddleAroundGames]

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.

[@anonymouslyvague]

I usually play my dad $1 per game. Not sure if it is an actual rule, but in our case, penalties were put into place depending on the results. If someone ended up in the stinkhole when the other went out, the $1 bet was doubled. If someone won by 30 pegs (the loser being 'skunked'), the bet was doubled. If by 60 pegs (double skunked), it was tripled, etc. A lot of fun, and of course bragging rights for the winner.

My mother taught me cribbage ..Man! She was like a computer with it, never missed a point and rarely lost. I'd forgotten how to play over the years and now have nobody to play against.

Didn't you miss a run of 5 while playing , the 3, 6, 5, 4, 7?

That is a run!
