5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, October 22, 2004

By 

Jerry Wynne (Wisconsin, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cribbage for Experts: And Future Experts (Paperback)

At 96 pages, I wasn't expecting this to be so useful, but it doesn't waste pages explaining the rules and how to add up points. It assumes you already play cribbage, and concentrates on the area of the game in which the player has the most control, the play of the hand. If you want a book that does have the rules and basics, try Play Cribbage to Win by the same author, different publisher. And if you want to tackle really complex aspects of the game, try Winning Cribbage Tips and/or Miracles on 4th Street. They're all excellent.

It's not a long book and I have read quickly through it twice already. In two passes, I've had at least three "Oh, right!" moments and it has already changed the way I discard to the crib and play. A simple and detailed explanation of logic behind cribbage.
