in the latter 95case, the appropriate response is a number from 0 to 39 indicating 96how far down the remaining 40 cards are to be cut. 97.Pp 98After cutting the deck, play starts with the non-dealer (the person 99who doesn't have the crib) leading the first card. 100Play continues, as per cribbage, until all cards are exhausted. 101The program keeps track of the scoring of all points and the total of 102the cards on the table. 103.Pp 104After play, the hands are scored. 105The program requests the player to 106score his hand (and the crib, if it is his) by printing out the 107appropriate cards (and the cut card enclosed in brackets). 108Play continues until one player reaches the game limit (61 or 121). 109.Pp 110A carriage return when a numeric input is expected is equivalent 111to typing the lowest legal value; when cutting the deck this 112is equivalent to choosing the top card. 113.Pp 114Cards are specified as rank followed by suit. 115The ranks may be specified 116as one of: 117.Sq a , 118.Sq 2 , 119.Sq 3 , 120.Sq 4 , 121.Sq 5 , 122.Sq 6 , 123.Sq 7 , 124.Sq 8 , 125.Sq 9 , 126.Sq t , 127.Sq j , 128.Sq q , 129and 130.Sq k , 131or alternatively, one of: 132.Sq ace , 133.Sq two , 134.Sq three , 135.Sq four , 136.Sq five , 137.Sq six , 138.Sq seven , 139.Sq eight , 140.Sq nine , 141.Sq ten , 142.Sq jack , 143.Sq queen , 144and 145.Sq king . 146Suits may be specified as: 147.Sq s , 148.Sq h , 149.Sq d , 150and 151.Sq c , 152or alternatively as: 153.Sq spades , 154.Sq hearts , 155.Sq diamonds , 156and 157.Sq clubs . 158A card may be specified as: 159.Dq Ao rank Ac \ Aq suit , 160or: 161.Dq Ao rank Ac of Aq suit . 162If the single letter rank and suit designations are used, the space 163separating the suit and rank may be left out. 164Also, if only one card 165of the desired rank is playable, typing the rank is sufficient. 166For example, if your hand was 167.Dq 2H, 4D, 5C, 6H, JC, and KD 168and it was desired to discard the king of diamonds, any of 169the following could be typed: 170.Sq k , 171.Sq king , 172.Sq kd , 173.Sq k d , 174.Sq k of d , 175.Sq king d , 176.Sq king of d , 177.Sq k diamonds , 178.Sq k of diamonds , 179.Sq king diamonds , 180.Sq king of diamonds . 181.Sh FILES 182.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /usr/share/games/cribbage.instr" -compact 183.It Pa /usr/games/cribbage 184.It Pa /var/games/criblog 185.It Pa /usr/share/games/cribbage.instr 186.El 187.Sh AUTHORS 188.An -nosplit 189.An Earl T.
