The Dealer and the Pone (non-Dealer) must decide which two cards to discard to the crib. The Dealer shuffles the deck and deals out cards, one-at-a-time to the Pone and to themselves until they each have 6 cards. With the Dealer decided, the game can be begging. When a game is first started, the deck is cut and each player draws a card. Each game involves a number of hands that are played consecutively until the first player reaches 121 points, at which point the game is finished. It is possible to use pencil and paper but a board is the preferred choice. The application can help new players make sure they are not missing points or counting incorrectly.Ī Cribbage game will usually involve a Cribbage board that is used to keep track of the score. I wrote code to assist with the counting and probabilities. However, counting the cards can be a challenge for beginners let alone understanding the strategies and probabilities associated with the game. You score points through various combinations and groupings of cards. Typically, Cribbage is a two player game with the goal reaching 121 points.
There is no reason these concepts cannot be used for games with more players.
