.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
plays the card game cribbage, with the program playing one hand
|
|
and the user the other. The program will initially ask the user if
|
|
the rules of the game are needed \- if so, it will print out
|
|
the appropriate section from
|
|
.Em According to Hoyle
|
|
with
|
|
.Xr more 1 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
options include:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl e
|
|
When the player makes a mistake scoring his hand or crib, provide an
|
|
explanation of the correct score. (This is especially useful for
|
|
beginning players.)
|
|
.It Fl q
|
|
Print a shorter form of all messages \- this is only recommended for
|
|
users who have played the game without specifying this option.
|
|
.It Fl r
|
|
Instead of asking the player to cut the deck, the program will randomly
|
|
cut the deck.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
first asks the player whether he wishes to play a short game (
|
|
.Dq once around ,
|
|
to 61) or a long game (
|
|
.Dq twice around ,
|
|
to 121). A
|
|
response of
|
|
.Sq Ic s
|
|
will result in a short game, any other response will
|
|
play a long game.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
At the start of the first game, the program
|
|
asks the player to cut the deck to determine who gets the
|
|
first crib. The user should respond with a number between 0 and
|
|
51, indicating how many cards down the deck is to be cut. The player
|
|
who cuts the lower ranked card gets the first crib.
|
|
If more than one game is played, the
|
|
loser of the previous game gets the first crib in the current game.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For each hand, the program first prints the player's hand,
|
|
whose crib it is, and then asks the player
|
|
to discard two cards into the crib. The cards are prompted for
|
|
one per line, and are typed as explained below.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After discarding, the program cuts the deck (if it is the player's
|
|
crib) or asks the player to cut the deck (if it's its crib); in the latter
|
|
case, the appropriate response is a number from 0 to 39 indicating
|
|
how far down the remaining 40 cards are to be cut.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After cutting the deck, play starts with the non-dealer (the person
|
|
who doesn't have the crib) leading the first card.
|
|
Play continues, as per cribbage, until all cards are exhausted. The
|
|
program keeps track of the scoring of all points and the total of
|
|
the cards on the table.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After play, the hands are scored. The program requests the player to
|
|
score his hand (and the crib, if it is his) by printing out the
|
|
appropriate cards (and the cut card enclosed in brackets).
|
|
Play continues until one player reaches the game limit (61 or 121).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A carriage return when a numeric input is expected is equivalent
|
|
to typing the lowest legal value; when cutting the deck this
|
|
is equivalent to choosing the top card.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Cards are specified as rank followed by suit. The ranks may be specified
|
|
as one of:
|
|
.Sq a ,
|
|
.Sq 2 ,
|
|
.Sq 3 ,
|
|
.Sq 4 ,
|
|
.Sq 5 ,
|
|
.Sq 6 ,
|
|
.Sq 7 ,
|
|
.Sq 8 ,
|
|
.Sq 9 ,
|
|
.Sq t ,
|
|
.Sq j ,
|
|
.Sq q ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Sq k ,
|
|
or alternatively, one of:
|
|
.Sq ace ,
|
|
.Sq two ,
|
|
.Sq three ,
|
|
.Sq four ,
|
|
.Sq five ,
|
|
.Sq six ,
|
|
.Sq seven ,
|
|
.Sq eight ,
|
|
.Sq nine ,
|
|
.Sq ten ,
|
|
.Sq jack ,
|
|
.Sq queen ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Sq king .
|
|
Suits may be specified as:
|
|
.Sq s ,
|
|
.Sq h ,
|
|
.Sq d ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Sq c ,
|
|
or alternatively as:
|
|
.Sq spades ,
|
|
.Sq hearts ,
|
|
.Sq diamonds ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Sq clubs .
|
|
A card may be specified as:
|
|
.Dq Ao rank Ac \ Aq suit ,
|
|
or:
|
|
.Dq Ao rank Ac of Aq suit .
|
|
If the single letter rank and suit designations are used, the space
|
|
separating the suit and rank may be left out. Also, if only one card
|
|
of the desired rank is playable, typing the rank is sufficient.
|
|
For example, if your hand was
|
|
.Dq 2H, 4D, 5C, 6H, JC, and KD
|
|
and it was desired to discard the king of diamonds, any of
|
|
the following could be typed:
|
|
.Sq k ,
|
|
.Sq king ,
|
|
.Sq kd ,
|
|
.Sq k d ,
|
|
.Sq k of d ,
|
|
.Sq king d ,
|
|
.Sq king of d ,
|
|
.Sq k diamonds ,
|
|
.Sq k of diamonds ,
|
|
.Sq king diamonds ,
|
|
.Sq king of diamonds .
