Cribbage 128

Two-hand cribbage against the computer, played to 121. The low cut deals first, then the deal alternates. Each player gets six cards and lays two in the dealer's crib, and the starter is turned; a jack gives the dealer two for his heels. In the play, cards are laid in turn with the count kept to 31: pairs, runs, fifteen and thirty-one all peg points, a player who cannot play says go, and the last card pegs one. Then the hands are counted, non-dealer first, then the dealer and the crib, for fifteens, pairs, runs, flushes and his nobs, each count showing what it is made of. Pegs hop along a cribbage board. First past 120 wins, and a loser under 91 is skunked. A hint shows the best discard, and a match table is kept until power off.

Controls: Push the stick left or right to choose a card and press the left button to lay it; the right button asks for a hint while discarding. Any button goes on after a count.
