Instructions

You and a computer opponent take turns placing cards into a 5x5 grid. Cards are drawn randomly from a standard 52-card deck.

Once the grid is full, each row and column is scored as a 5-card cribbage hand. You earn points for each row hand (horizontal). The computer earns points for each column hand (vertical). Whoever has the most total points wins!

Scoring

  • Pairs: 2pts for any two cards of the same rank.
  • Fifteens: 2pts for every combination of cards that add up to 15. (Aces count as 1, facecards count as 10, everything else is what it is)
  • Runs: 1pt for each card in a series of at least 3 consecutive ranks.
  • Flush: 5pts if all 5 cards in the hand have the same suit.
