game idea Posted by cribbich (VIP) Apr 3 2006 9:23PM I'd like to suggest a 3-player cribbage option. In this version, each player is dealt 5 cards, each puts one in crib, and crib is dealt a fourth card from the deck. It's a nice way for a few friends to play at the same time, and since there are no partners, there's no worry of collusion. Just a thought, I think it would be lots of fun. A new cribbage game option is coming within 2 days Posted by webmaster (moderator) Apr 3 2006 11:24PM Thanks for the suggestion. Although with your suggested version there are no partners per se, there can still be collusion when more than 2 players will play. ----- <B>ANNOUNCEMENT</B> A new cribbage game option is coming within 2 days. It will NOT be a new game version -- it will apply to any existing cribbage version. This cribbage option was originally suggested by Moojus about 3 months ago. We expect that this new cribbage option will be of especial interest to experienced players. Note: So far there was no description of what the option was all about. Any guesses? my guess is Posted by magik_rain (VIP) Apr 3 2006 11:30PM my guess is point base games with skunks and dbl skunks. am I close Nope, something quite different... Posted by webmaster (moderator) Apr 3 2006 11:40PM No -- we're still anti-skunk here. This is a very different option. Here's a hint -- think of what's different between over-the-board play and online play. What would make online play more like over-the-board play? crib Posted by BathWater (VIP) Apr 4 2006 12:02AM when playing a second game aganist the same opponet the dealer is picked randomly No, sorry, the option is not about picking dealers -- it changes the whole game... Posted by webmaster (moderator) Apr 4 2006 12:13AM Sorry, the new cribbage option will not be about picking the dealer for the 2nd game -- it will change the dynamics of the whole game ... Another hint, then: If you are an experienced player who plays over-the-board games, do you really need the computer to count the combinations for you? And if you are good at counting, what if you make a mistake (undercount or overcount)? new game Posted by derbys (VIP) Apr 4 2006 7:24AM wpould have that it was obvious we have to count our own hands It's a ... Manual Count option Posted by webmaster (moderator) Apr 4 2006 8:37AM So far in online cribbage play a computer counts for you & you are not forced to count. In over-the-board cribbage tournaments (such as while playing in ACC tournaments), you will count & announce your card combinations. If you undercount -- it's your loss. If you overcount (and opponent catches it), extra points will be added to your opponent's score. The upcoming 'Manual Count' oprion -- that should appear tomorrow -- will make you ... count! :) Posted by magik_rain (VIP) Apr 4 2006 9:01AM This is great. Having to count our own hands is awesome. And it is a good option for the beginners too, they need to know how to add those points. They will improve their game also. (I learned by my mother stealing my points lol) Thank you Webmaster and great suggestion Moojus. muggins Posted by cribbich (VIP) Apr 6 2006 12:26AM by the way, I think that is called "muggins" when your pone misses points and you can steal them... I still think 3 player would be awesome... maybe non-rated.. .what is the harm??? There is no way for more than 2 friends to play at once... any other opinions on this? 3-player crib Posted by purple-planet Apr 11 2006 10:23PM Just like 5 card crib for some, in my household three player crib has been around for a while...it is a DIFFERENT game...especially 'cause you can't "trap" you opponent into a run . I think Cribbich suggestion is an excellent one... I'd play.... Purple-planet PS I realize this may be a programming nightmare however ....but I'm sure there's some computer whiz out there who could figure it out.... ok 2 cents Posted by KymB (VIP) Apr 12 2006 1:11AM yes i like this version...3 player,,,,,,i think would work vs having to count against MOOjus LMAO.(joKe) i can count but i think i forgot!!! oh we r getting off the subject......5 card and friends i like that.....your friend kim |
