Even though I'm not a very good cribbage player; [I NEVER know what to put in the crib], this was one of the best cribbage games for computer, I have ever seen. The graphics are great;, and the program couldn't be easier to use, [well. providing you know how to play]

Don't get me wrong, if you don't know how to play this will teach you. You have 2 levels of computer players in the unregistered version; and an automatic scoring option that will keep you from getting hurt till you learn better, but the smarts-well you have to supply that yourself. I had a little trouble setting myself up as a player the first time-I had to reread the rules twice to figure it out, which is definitely not bad.

You can also play over the internet, change the board into 3 different configurations, play with 4 players, [2 teams], change whether the winner or loser of the opening cut goes first, change whether you play to 121 or 61 and many other things.

Take my word for it, this program is great. I stopped playing cribbage for a long time, cause my brother always sneered at me, but this program don't sneer! And when you register you get 2 card fronts, 3 expert computer players, more card backs, more music selections, full screen graphics up to 1024x768, and a printed manual.
