The BEST How To Play Cribbage For Beginners Video… EVER!

I’m tired of finding boring and unclear videos on how to play 2-player Cribbage for beginners. So I decided to make the best video tutorial for the rules of Cribbage for the absolute beginner.
I love Cribbage and have been playing it for about 30 years. In fact, I’ve built a whole KZbin channel around it! (It’s this one here, in case you were wondering.)
In this video, I’ll cover the basic rules to get you playing Cribbage RIGHT AWAY. We’ll cover:
What You’ll Need
How To Win
Phases of the Cribbage Game
How To Score Points
Example Hand Of Cribbage
Cribbage is simple, but the scoring aspect is tough for people to pick up without some help. Check out the rest of the videos in this Cribbage For Beginners Playlist to master the basics and win more games!

Thanks for the refresher

[@HuddleAroundGames]

Happy to!

Have you ever considered doing some interviews of cribbage personalities? Some of the well known icons of the game - or well established tournament players. It would be so insightful. I got into the game from Cribbage forum -- a loong time ago -- and as much as i love that site there has been little new content for years. Im so happy you make videos regularly. I like the puzzles idea also that someone suggested. Even book reviews. Lol - sorry. Getting carried away. Thanks for all you time and energy.

[@HuddleAroundGames]

I have thought about all those things too! Maybe someday! I’ve been chilling this summer before the school year starts, though. I’ll get back into them soon!

Could you create cribbage puzzles? Dan Barlow wrote two books of cribbage puzzles. Might as well make some money in addition to creating exciting cribbage content on KZbin. I play cribbage at the senior center primarily for fellowship and keeping the brain sharp. A couple of cribbage puzzles (you have already done a lot of the work in making your videos) I believe would be marketable :).

[@HuddleAroundGames]

That’s an idea I have on my list of things to get to!

[@margomarshall6754]

I found and printed out your cheat sheet when I was teaching myself cribbage a year or so ago. Very useful!

[@HuddleAroundGames]

You have no idea how happy this makes me!

[@chriswalker810]

Nice tutorial and nice Crisloid duck Cribbage board.

[@HuddleAroundGames]

Thanks! I chose that one because it was from my grandpa and it’s the board he taught me on all those years ago!

[@merrittschumann4157]

Hey bud, thx for spreading the word on the great game of cribbage. If interested, would love to collaborate with you - been playing cribbage for over 50 years, been in tournaments (ACC & otherwise), played against some of the best…know the game inside out. Thx man, keep peggin..

[@tg360andbeyond]

Omg, you. are. the. best!!😂🎉

[@HuddleAroundGames]

Thanks!

[@jaybee7414]

So in the peg phase why didn’t you get points for a pair of aces when you laid down the ace of diamonds (12:28)?

[@HuddleAroundGames]

They have to be next to each other in the sequence to count as pairs.

[@spellenerrer6648]

Thank you for the video’s . A little new can you do a video only on double runs when it’s 8 points 10 points or 16 best way to always remember how many points you have I’m not worry about 15’s just the runs I never can wrap my brain around it. Looking to speed up my counting

[@HuddleAroundGames]

I got you right here! How To Count ALL Runs In Cribbage: Explained kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZ7SgX6BjZVlgJo

[@spellenerrer6648]

Thank you so much. This is exactly what I was looking for. Perfect .

[@leannerickson]

On the cheat sheet: We have a question on your pegging four of a kind. You list four of a kind with 4 queen example. Wouldn't this be more than 31 and only work on 7 value or less cards? Thanks for your videos.

[@HuddleAroundGames]

Absolutely true. Four of a kinds in your hand or crib or pegging are all worth 12, but only 7 or less will work when pegging because you’d go over 31 and split the sequence up. I might go back and change it now that you mention it. That does sound confusing for a new person.

[@leannerickson]

@@HuddleAroundGames Thank you for your videos to settle the family discussions. We are totally into this game now.

[@claykeough7898]

Just sort of feels like a game someone kept making rules up while disrespecting and beating on someone until those were the 'rules'

[@HuddleAroundGames]

It has roots from games past, but the creator of Cribbage has quite the sordid history. Search up Sir John Suckling.

[@loristewart8498]

Sorry, but your video is no less confusing than the rest. In fact it may be worse.

[@HuddleAroundGames]

Sorry!
