Cribbage is a great card game, my favourite for 2 players (probably most skilful)?
This may be compiled BASIC but it plays an ok game?
There are other versions of crib available this is only one I have tried so far.
I'm gonna play a match up to 7 although you can win more than 1 point a game in crib.
Winning post is 121.
* If you win and opponent fails to reach 91, you win a skunk (double game) for 2 points
* If they don't reach 61 you get a double skunk (rules vary, I will be playing triple game for a double skunk so 3 points).
* If they don't reach 31 you win the match immediately.
I assume you all know the rules to Cribbage, I'm not explaining them here, they are too complicated to explain lol. You score for 15s, pairs (and trips, 4 of a kind), runs (of 3 or more), his nob of course (Jack of same suit as the turn card), and flushes (4 of same suit in hand + the turn card counts in everyone's hand, but you can only score for a flush in the crib with a five flush. Yeah I know, it's just making things more complicated for no reason).
Once you discard to the crib you play a similar kind of game but you can only go up to 31 (which scores 2 if you make 31 exactly).
Aces are low only so QKA is not a run of 3.
I'm sure it will all start making sense after a few hands lol

Here are the rules if you want to bone up first: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cribbage
Game on! I think there are only 2 levels in this game, so go for EXPERT obvs.
Game is up to 121 points. As soon as one player scores 121 game ends. Non dealer (who does not have the crib) scores first in the show.
I hope that all makes sense!

Crib is a great game, let's get started. Cut for first deal and box, lowest card wins (Ace is low only remember), dealer gets the box, then the deal alternates.

So I win the cut and deal first, so first box for me. EDIT: Looks like the Speccy does not know the rule that LOWEST cut wins, so it thinks it is dealing. Never mind, doesn't make a difference really. Just pretend it won the cut.
This does not play cut every game for first box, I don't know if it plays "mugs off" i.e. loser of last game gets first deal and box, or if it alternates. I'll stick with what the speccy does. I usually play cut for first box each game, I think that is official but we will go with speccy rules interpretation.

Here are the proper rules
Dealer gets the box (crib) anywaywikipedia wrote:The players cut for first deal, and the person who cuts the lowest card deals.

That is a good hand. Shame the speccy cheated me out of the box, looks like I have to put an A2 in it

Which is my first decision, I have to discard 2 cards to the crib which the dealer will score later on. Obvs I'm gonna put the A2 in though.
