What it teaches

Counting a cribbage hand at the show: fifteens (every combination), pairs, pair royals and four of a kind, runs, double and triple runs, flushes (and when a flush doesn’t count), his nobs, then whole hands up to the 29. The AI asks 3 questions, places you, shows a short card per module, then deals you one hand at a time and checks your count against scores computed by script.

For players who learned at the family table and still miscount, new players with a board and no teacher, and club players who want to stop missing the third fifteen. Not for pegging or discard strategy.

How long

45 items. About 15 rounds for a strong player up to about 60 for a beginner who miscounts a lot, plus a 12-item final: 2-3 sessions (estimate from simulated students, not timed with a real person). The tutor gives a one-line save code at the end of each session.
