I was leafing through Delynn Colvert’s book “Play Winning Cribbage” and found a section on how to play cribbage solitaire. I’ve never considered it, but I tried it tonight just for laughs. It’s easier to understand than his 26 Theory, which I never got. I looked for the rules as Colvert described them and was lucky to find them in the forum on the boardgamegeek website.
Just read Jesse Hickle’s description. If you look at stuff on the web about cribbage solitaire too long, you’ll find dozens of variations. I’d stick with Colvert’s version (or Hickle’s version, whatever). I don’t know where the rules originated.
Colvert says it’s not impossible to beat—but I didn’t win tonight after a few tries. It’s good practice.
