    @@JMNCGames My daughter and I had one snag while playing yesterday. Both of us novices! How “wild” is Jack when atop the starter pile? Can you elaborate? We get the nob “point” when Jack is in counting hand and can be paired with starter card suit BUT when Jack is in “heel” position doesn’t it have more potential with your hand? Thanks much!!

    @@edread7008 The jack being the face up card on the cut, only serves as a point for the person who turned the card. After that, it doesn't provide any additional benefits. The nob rules are funny. Never really saw any history on the nob, I always just sort of saw it as one of those odd ball rules. But i suppose it is connected to somewhere in it's original history. Like for example in Euchre, the jacks are treated differently, similiar to cribbage in a way. The reason for it, was back when the game was originally played, the jokers were used, and is the reason a modern deck of cards always includes two jokers.

    @@JMNCGames Oh, so starter Jack cannot be used in counting card phase for anything else? Is it possible there is variation on this? I swear I saw a video where it could be paired for points if same suit as one in hand? Maybe your rules are the more standard/traditional? Just curious. So to be clear, for that “heels” Jack one can never earn more than one point, correct?

    In the sample hand being scored that shows 3 fives, you only count pairs and 15s. Why don’t you score anything for three of a kind? Also can a run continue into face cards (ex 10, J, Q)? Thank you for a very helpful video.

    Hi and thanks for watching. Just double checked the video. I count that hand as having 4 - 15s - 1 five with each matching the king, and then the 3 fives, for a total of 8 points. The three 5s are counted as 6 points for being 3 pairs. A run can be any set of three in order. So yeah a 10, J, Q can be a run. The ace can only be used in a run for 1, 2, 3. Not after a K. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions :-)

    Thank you for this great video. I’m struggling to understand how the “Go!” rule works. It’s straightforward when the situation is like in your video. But how does it work when I say go while my opponent has no cards left and I still have cards. Long story short, I’m seeking for a rule of thumb for “Go!” rule. That would be awesome if you add some more example videos. Cheers.

  • @JMNCGames

    @JMNCGames

    2 жыл бұрын

    Firstly, thanks for watching. If in the example you presented, you opponent plays their last card, and you need to say "go" then your opponent would collect the point. You would start a new count and play as far as you can. Once you have played your last card, you would also collect a "Go"for the last card played in that set. So, for the RULE OF THUMB - who ever plays the last card in the set, and that set did not reach 31, then that player collects the GO point. It is quite possible for your opponent to run out of cards and you are still left with 2 cards in your hand. You would play those cards as normal, if you count to 15 or 31 you would get 2. If you don't get to 31, then you will get a GO. hope that helps, and if you want to ask a different example, just let me know. Thanks again!

    15 for 2 = 10 + 5, 15 for 4 =7+8, a run(5,6,7,8) for 8 is the total score for that hand. You would only only score multiple runs if there were two of the same card within the run. For example say there was 2fives. a 6 and a 7. Then you count 5, 6,7 for 3 and then 5,6, 7 for 6 & the pair of fives makes 8. Hope that makes sense.

    Well you do wanna calculate in your head for sure, to know which cards are going to be the best to keep and throw to the crib. however the order of play must remain the same as it determines who may go out first.

    Can you clarify something for me? A player who reaches a count of 31 scores two points, is that correct. However, when scoring a hand 31 is not worth two points, is that also correct? When scoring the hand around minute ten of this video I noticed that all of the cards added up to 31 (three fives, a king and a six). You scored the combinations that added up to 15, and the three pairs of fives, but didn't add two points for the entire hand totaling 31. I just want to be sure I understand when 31 is worth two points and when it's not. Thanks for this terrific video!

    Hi thanks for the question and also thanks for watching. Towards the begining(2:05) I mention about the different size boards. Boards that go to 91 are travel boards, made for shorter games and to be able to take them on the go. The standard size cribbage board goes to 121. But these are long, and not easily transported. So many people have a travel size board for trips and such. You could use your travel board to play to 121, simply by going back to the start and then going to 31 if you really wanted to play a full game. Hope that helps!

    well it would depend on what the 5th card is, but four 5s, would render 3 sets of 15 for six points. Plus you would score 12 more points because of all of the pairs. So if the 5th card was a 10 or better, the total for the hand would be 24. Would be one of the best possible hands in cribbage.

    The main reason so this is so that you never lose place of where you are on the board when scoring. When you move the back peg, the front peg, always shows where you are currently. If you were to make a mistake when counting, you could run into issues in remembering where you were if you had to backtrack. Thanks for watching!
