What's different about this table
- The opponents are real. The cribbage player computes the expected value of all fifteen possible discards across every card that could turn up. The board games search up to eight moves ahead with alpha-beta pruning. Nothing here is a rule of thumb pretending to be a mind.
- It teaches. Cribbage shows you the count for every hand — fifteens, pairs, runs, nobs — so you learn to count instead of watching a number appear.
- It's honest about lost causes. Not every solitaire deal is winnable. When yours isn't, this says so, instead of letting you stare at a dead board.
- It works offline. Load a page once and it's yours — on a plane, on the underground, in a waiting room with no bars.
- No account, no download, no nag. There is nothing to unlock and nothing to buy.
A word about names
The rules of a game can't be owned — but names can. "Connect 4", "Battleship", "Othello" and "Scrabble" are registered trademarks belonging to toy companies, so you won't find them here. What you'll find is Four in a Row and Reversi — the older, public-domain names for games that are centuries older than the trademarks stamped on them.
