## What is Cribbage Dash?

Cribbage is a classic card game. Play against the computer with adjustable difficulty, coaching tools, and distinct AI opponents; then resume anytime from where you left off.

Single Player Cribbage
 - Five difficulty levels: From learning the basics (Level 1) to a strong opponent (Level 5).
 - Four named challengers: Risky Ruby (aggressive, streaky), Careful Carol (defensive, stingy), Old Man River (unpredictable), and Sandbagging Sam (slow start, strong finish). Each has a distinct style and personality.
 - Leaster: (misère or lowball cribbage) — first to 121 loses. Hardest AI only; muggins off.
 - Draft: Draft your hand from 12 face-up cards (alternating picks), then play normal cribbage — more planning, less blind luck.
 - Muggins option: The ability to turn muggins on and score your own hand as well as catch the computer making mistakes (but watch out, it'll catch your mistakes too)
 - Resume game: Your game is saved automatically. Return to the main menu and pick up the same game later.
 - Correct cribbage rules: Full game to 121 points: deal, cut, discard, the crib, pegging, and the show, with proper scoring for fifteens, pairs, runs, flushes, and nobs.
 - Customization: Custom boards, board wood, card backs, and playing table.
 - Portrait and landscape: Play in either orientation on phones and tablets.
 - Tutorial - Step-by-step tutorial for new players

Learn and Improve
 - Discard Analysis: See all 15 discard combinations ranked by expected value. Your Discard Efficiency score shows exactly how optimal your decision was across all 46 possible cut cards.
