Cribbage
An adaptation of the traditional card game, for one player against a computer opponent, in which each side tries to beat the opponent to the goal of 121 points.
To begin, the deck is cut and the lowest card determines who deals first. Each side receives six cards, discards two to the crib, and then both take turns playing their hand on the board, trying to score by bringing the total value to 15 or 31, and completing certain combinations of cards that give additional points. If no card can be played without exceeding the total of 31, 'go' is called and the attempt is transferred to the opponent; the last player to lay a card gets an additional point.
When all the cards have been played, both hands are scored according to their contents and special combinations, and the manger score goes to its owner (each side keeps the manger in alternate turns). A new round begins, and so on until one of the players reaches a total of 121 or more, winning the game.
