in the latter 91case, the appropriate response is a number from 0 to 39 indicating 92how far down the remaining 40 cards are to be cut. 93.Pp 94After cutting the deck, play starts with the non-dealer (the person 95who doesn't have the crib) leading the first card. 96Play continues, as per cribbage, until all cards are exhausted. 97The program keeps track of the scoring of all points and the total of 98the cards on the table. 99.Pp 100After play, the hands are scored. 101The program requests the player to 102score his hand (and the crib, if it is his) by printing out the 103appropriate cards (and the cut card enclosed in brackets). 104Play continues until one player reaches the game limit (61 or 121). 105.Pp 106A carriage return when a numeric input is expected is equivalent 107to typing the lowest legal value; when cutting the deck this 108is equivalent to choosing the top card. 109.Pp 110Cards are specified as rank followed by suit. 111The ranks may be specified 112as one of: 113.Sq a , 114.Sq 2 , 115.Sq 3 , 116.Sq 4 , 117.Sq 5 , 118.Sq 6 , 119.Sq 7 , 120.Sq 8 , 121.Sq 9 , 122.Sq t , 123.Sq j , 124.Sq q , 125and 126.Sq k , 127or alternatively, one of: 128.Sq ace , 129.Sq two , 130.Sq three , 131.Sq four , 132.Sq five , 133.Sq six , 134.Sq seven , 135.Sq eight , 136.Sq nine , 137.Sq ten , 138.Sq jack , 139.Sq queen , 140and 141.Sq king . 142Suits may be specified as: 143.Sq s , 144.Sq h , 145.Sq d , 146and 147.Sq c , 148or alternatively as: 149.Sq spades , 150.Sq hearts , 151.Sq diamonds , 152and 153.Sq clubs . 154A card may be specified as: 155.Dq Ao rank Ac \ Aq suit , 156or: 157.Dq Ao rank Ac of Aq suit . 158If the single letter rank and suit designations are used, the space 159separating the suit and rank may be left out. 160Also, if only one card 161of the desired rank is playable, typing the rank is sufficient. 162For example, if your hand was 163.Dq 2H, 4D, 5C, 6H, JC, and KD 164and it was desired to discard the king of diamonds, any of 165the following could be typed: 166.Sq k , 167.Sq king , 168.Sq kd , 169.Sq k d , 170.Sq k of d , 171.Sq king d , 172.Sq king of d , 173.Sq k diamonds , 174.Sq k of diamonds , 175.Sq king diamonds , 176.Sq king of diamonds . 177.Sh FILES 178.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /usr/share/games/cribbage.instr" -compact 179.It Pa /usr/games/cribbage 180.It Pa /var/games/criblog 181.It Pa /usr/share/games/cribbage.instr 182.El 183.Sh AUTHORS 184.An -nosplit 185.An Earl T.
