<p>Drewbert87: </p> <hr /> <div>If you have the crib and are not sure what to put in it, throw in a pair or &quot;high&quot; 15 (e.g. 9 and 6, or 8 and 7). All things equal, it is better to have lower number cards in your hand during game play to effectively allow you to earn more &quot;last card&quot; points. This also ensures you keep the scoring set of two cards together (because it is your crib). <br /> <br /> During gameplay points are also scored for pairs, sets of 3 or 4, runs of 3 or 4, or when the total adds up to 15 or 31. Because of this, it's important to think ahead to what your opponent might play. For example leading with a 5 is often a bad idea since 10s are the most common card value and your opponent bringing the count to 15 will net them 2 points. Similarly, ending your turn with the point value on 21 is also not ideal since it's likely your opponent will have a 10 and bring the count to 31 for 2. <br /> <br /> Consider going to the hamburger menu in the upper right corner and selecting Auto Go and Auto Cut to speed things up.</div>
