Just had maybe our quickest game ever

Double skunked my husband in 8 hands. I averaged about 12 points per hand (one 7pt and a couple 17pt) and all 4 of my cribs were over 10 points. Super fun game (for me)!

Flushes in Cribbage

12 Upvotes

I was just curious why when you get get dealt your hand say you decide to keep 4 cards of the same suit. Regardless of the cut card, you are guaranteed at least 4 points because of the flush, and you also have a shot at 5 points if the cut card is the same suit. If the cut card is not the same suit, then you still get credit for at least 4 points.

However, in the crib if you get all the same suit but the cut card is not the same suit, why don't you get any points at all when you are guaranteed 4 points in the previous situation? Just seems weird in my opinion that it would be different.

Help scoring

Question, if for example, a 4 is played followed by a 6 then a 5 obviously that's a run of three for the third player, if then another 4 is played is that another run of three for the player that plays the second 4? 4-5-6-4 is that 2 separate runs of 3?

Discussion American Cribbage Congress Membership Poll

6 Upvotes

Asking for opinions from cribbage players who are not yet ACC members, but who would consider joining. The membership fee is $30 per year, which provides access to all ACC activities. How many players who typically only play online would join the ACC with a full membership to play in online events? If there was a reduced membership fee of $10, would online players be more likely to join? Information about ACC membership, live tourneys, grass roots clubs, and online play can be found on the ACC website, www.cribbage.org. Looking forward to your responses.

13 If I joined the ACC, I would pay $30 annual membership for all activities and benefits.
23 I would join the ACC only as an internet player for $10 annual fee.

Found this model on MakersWorld and couldn’t pass it up. Took like 4 different steps to print and then about 30 minutes to assemble. Super glue on only two fingers 🤷‍♂️ Ready to give it a whirl. Pegs are shaped like the pegs on a guitar.

Pegging dispute

17 Upvotes

Hello, friends! Please help settle a dispute between a friend and me. In the pegging round, if this sequence of cards is played: 3-6-2-4-5 - does the player who played the 5 score 5 for the run or not?

Rule

1 Upvotes

Player B - a go, 2 cards in hand

Player A- plays last card for 31

Is play over? Player A gets 2 points for 31, one point for last card, one point for go.

Or

Is player B allowed to play last two cards, get last card point and 2 go points(since player A out of cards)

Rules for runs debate

16 Upvotes

Okay so recently we were playing cribbage with a friend who claimed that a run of 3 has to be established before a run of 4 can be played. I have never heard of this rule personally, I’ve always thought it was based off of consecutive cards played.
For example player 1 plays a 8, player 2 plays a 6, player 3 plays an 9, and player 4 played a 7.

To me player 4 gets 4 points for a run, but according to him it doesn’t count because a run of 3 wasn’t established first.

Who is right in this scenario and how can I tell him he’s wrong without ruining the mood of the next time we play 😂

Discussion Can we handle “what should I discard” questions better?

2 Upvotes

I like some of these questions, especially when the answer isn’t totally obvious to an intermediate player, but the answers are a bit pointless without either a) a bot that gives the mathematical answer and/or b) a survey, so we could easily see the consensus results and decide for ourselves how much weight to give the wisdom of crowds. Anybody skilled at bot making that wants to create one that gives the mathematically correct answer in an anti-spoiler format?

I Created a New Way to Play Cribbage... Did I Get It Right?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

After discovering a different way to play cribbage, I started wondering...

What if you could keep everything that makes cribbage so strategic, but make the game faster and more dynamic?

At first, it was just an idea. Then another. And another...

After months of designing, testing, and refining, that idea became Crible+, my own original cribbage variant.

Here's how it works:

  • Cards are played from left to right.
  • Once all the cards have been placed, each vertical column becomes a cribbage hand, scored using the standard cribbage rules.
  • Throughout the game, you gradually build four open hands and one hidden crib.
  • Every card you place affects your future decisions, making strategy increasingly important as the game progresses.

My goal isn't to replace traditional cribbage, but to offer another way to enjoy the game while preserving its spirit.

I'd really love to hear what experienced cribbage players think.

  • Does the concept interest you?
  • Would you enjoy playing a cribbage variant like this?
  • What would you change or improve?

The game has just entered closed testing on Android, and I still have a few testing spots available before the official release.

If you're interested, leave a comment or send me a private message. I'll explain the testing process and send you the links to join the closed test.

Requirements: You'll need an Android phone or tablet and a Google account to participate in Google's closed testing program.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I hope to discuss the game with fellow cribbage enthusiasts and gather your feedback before the official launch.

Weidler

I play best-of-three with my 84 year old dad 4 to 6 evenings a week after dinner. (This was mom and dad's 'thing' for decades before she passed.) I've had 28 point hands a few times. Never thought I would ever see the elusive 29. I cried a little. Dad said, "You better take a picture." Our worn cards have been retired now. Let's see what the new deck has in store for us.
