For those with limited math skills you can play by matching colors with the 8 last.


Going to need to.explain your new math system better for me Bob.

9 (yellow ) + 6 (green) = 15. 1 point
14 (green ) + 1 yellow = 15. 1 point


The way we play. Am I missing a different version?

I think Bob means color pairings... 1-9, 2-10, 3-11, 4-12, 5-13, 6-14, 7-15. The single 8 for the last point. It's easier to pick colors.

A similar game that uses colors for matching ball companions ... www.sfbilliards.com/Misc/colors_game.pdf
.

I think the game COLORS (link above) plays better than cribbage. The game of cribbage continually spots the first ball, if the second ball is missed.
In the game Colors the first ball of color always stays down. The second ball of each set of ball color combinations then pairs up with the black ball.
