The program will initially ask the user if 49the rules of the game are needed \- if so, it will print out 50the appropriate section from 51.Em According to Hoyle 52with 53.Xr more 1 . 54.Pp 55.Nm 56options include: 57.Bl -tag -width indent 58.It Fl e 59When the player makes a mistake scoring his hand or crib, provide an 60explanation of the correct score. (This is especially useful for 61beginning players.) 62.It Fl q 63Print a shorter form of all messages \- this is only recommended for 64users who have played the game without specifying this option. 65.It Fl r 66Instead of asking the player to cut the deck, the program will randomly 67cut the deck. 68.El 69.Pp 70.Nm 71first asks the player whether he wishes to play a short game ( 72.Dq once around , 73to 61) or a long game ( 74.Dq twice around , 75to 121). A 76response of 77.Sq Ic s 78will result in a short game, any other response will 79play a long game. 80.Pp 81At the start of the first game, the program 82asks the player to cut the deck to determine who gets the 83first crib. The user should respond with a number between 0 and 8451, indicating how many cards down the deck is to be cut. The player 85who cuts the lower ranked card gets the first crib. 86If more than one game is played, the 87loser of the previous game gets the first crib in the current game. 88.Pp 89For each hand, the program first prints the player's hand, 90whose crib it is, and then asks the player 91to discard two cards into the crib. The cards are prompted for 92one per line, and are typed as explained below. 93.Pp 94After discarding, the program cuts the deck (if it is the player's 95crib) or asks the player to cut the deck (if it's its crib); in the latter 96case, the appropriate response is a number from 0 to 39 indicating 97how far down the remaining 40 cards are to be cut. 98.Pp 99After cutting the deck, play starts with the non-dealer (the person 100who doesn't have the crib) leading the first card. 101Play continues, as per cribbage, until all cards are exhausted. The 102program keeps track of the scoring of all points and the total of 103the cards on the table. 104.Pp 105After play, the hands are scored. The 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. The ranks may be specified 115as one of: 116.Sq a , 117.Sq 2 , 118.Sq 3 , 119.Sq 4 , 120.Sq 5 , 121.Sq 6 , 122.Sq 7 , 123.Sq 8 , 124.Sq 9 , 125.Sq t , 126.Sq j , 127.Sq q , 128and 129.Sq k , 130or alternatively, one of: 131.Sq ace , 132.Sq two , 133.Sq three , 134.Sq four , 135.Sq five , 136.Sq six , 137.Sq seven , 138.Sq eight , 139.Sq nine , 140.Sq ten , 141.Sq jack , 142.Sq queen , 143and 144.Sq king . 145Suits may be specified as: 146.Sq s , 147.Sq h , 148.Sq d , 149and 150.Sq c , 151or alternatively as: 152.Sq spades , 153.Sq hearts , 154.Sq diamonds , 155and 156.Sq clubs . 157A card may be specified as: 158.Dq Ao rank Ac \ Aq suit , 159or: 160.Dq Ao rank Ac of Aq suit . 161If the single letter rank and suit designations are used, the space 162separating the suit and rank may be left out. Also, if only one card 163of the desired rank is playable, typing the rank is sufficient. 164For example, if your hand was 165.Dq 2H, 4D, 5C, 6H, JC, and KD 166and it was desired to discard the king of diamonds, any of 167the following could be typed: 168.Sq k , 169.Sq king , 170.Sq kd , 171.Sq k d , 172.Sq k of d , 173.Sq king d , 174.Sq king of d , 175.Sq k diamonds , 176.Sq k of diamonds , 177.Sq king diamonds , 178.Sq king of diamonds . 179.Sh FILES 180.Bl -tag -width /usr/share/games/cribbage.instr -compact 181.It Pa /usr/games/cribbage 182.It Pa /var/games/criblog 183.It Pa /usr/share/games/cribbage.instr 184.El 185.Sh AUTHORS 186Earl T.
