Manual Count Cribbage is a more pure version of Cribbage that involves you self scoring your own cribbage hands, and self scoring the pegging. If you are an expert in pegging and counting cribbage hands, and have patience to count your hand out online, this will be the game for you.
At eCribbage.com, the play is the same as traditional cribbage with a few important differences:
- During the pegging, the sum of cards will not be announced, you
will
have to keep track of it in your head.
- You will have to announce any points you get by selecting the score.
ie 15 for 2, Run of 3, Last Card points, etc.
- If you miss any points, eCribbage will tell you that you missed out on some points, but they will be lost forever.
- If you count too many points, your opponent will automatically get the points that you over claimed. So if you claimed 5 points for a run of 3, you will get 3 points and your opponent will get an extra 2.
- You will count your hand by yourself, and announce how many points you
got.
- If you miss any points, eCribbage will tell you that you missed out on some points, but they will be lost forever.
- If you claim too many points, your opponent will automatically get the points that you over claimed. So if you claimed 10 points for a 6 point hand, you would get 6 points and your opponent would get an extra 4.
- Your opponent will then count their hand.
- The player with the crib will then count their crib.
eCribbage.com will provide intuitive UI to help you announce scores and claim points. Have fun with manual count cribbage!
