5.0 out of 5 stars
Cribbage Book by Buttler,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cribbage (Paperback)
This was the perfect book for me. All I knew about the game prior to reading Buttler's book had come from reading rules published by cribbage board makers and the American Cribbage Congress, which are sometimes leave a few items unclear. Buttler makes all aspects of the rules and strategy clear, at least to me. Highly recommended by me, a beginner, but I suspect that experts would find the book well worthwhile.

This review is from: Cribbage (Paperback)
I was looking for a good book with tips and strategy to help me increase my winning percentage. It is nice to be able to refer to the book while playing at sites like [...]. I have been practicing against the online robot and have definitely been winning more games. Once I feel more comfortable with what I am learning, I will have to implement the strategies when playing friends and family. Great book with a ton of great tips and advice.
