The first couple of games one of them was looking over my shoulder to help while I played against the other. They immediately stopped their game, broke down the rules for me, and then dealt me in for a new game. I stopped by the 3rd night with a beer and asked if I could watch/learn the game. I am pretty sure I didn't even know what a cribbage board looked like until my first couple weeks of working at a brewery in Eugene where people would play often and we even had a couple of boards and decks of cards to loan out to folks.
