Cribbage

[Moderator]

Ok, I see a lot of pepole playing this. I bought the board last night. My girlfriend and I can't figure it out. I found rules online but I don't know if they are "good" rules. Can someone who plays direct me torwards a reliable site thats easy to understand?

Best bet is to try and play with a person to show you the rules, its how I learned.

 

[C-pher]

Yea, and I hope that you're good at math.

I've played a bunch. But it's just werid trying to remember what all the point combos are.

It's not one of my favorites.

Now, one game that I never learned how to play was Euchre.

Here's a site I found that looks correct: http://www.cribbage.org/rules/.

Or you could come over some night and I'd be glad to show you how to play. I'm not great, but I learned how to play when I moved up here and made a friend who taught me.

I haven't played in years...and I mean years...but I used to love playing.

Also, now that you mention it. My buddy Colin, Ross knows him, he LOVES cribbage.

Hell, when we're driving around, he'll just blurt out, "That's a good cribbage hand." Then I'll see that he's looking at the License Plate of the car in front of us.

If that tells you anything.

Anyway, you can bounce questions off him if you like.

TypeO head over to my house, I am a crib master and once I can teach you to count a hand correctly, you are home free. From there the game is candy just set up your opponent and take all the pegs.

Talk to Colin, he love cribbage. So much that he'll be looking at license plates and say that that plate is a good cribbage hand.
