The course

Every hand, counted for you.

A hand from the app, scored the way the table scores it: each line lights the cards it counts, the count is said aloud, and your peg moves as the points land.

“Fifteen two, fifteen four, fifteen six, fifteen eight, a pair is ten, a run of three is thirteen, a run of three is sixteen.”

Count a hand

keepthrow

Throw 9 K: the best of 15 throws, with the reason.

Discard calculator

Six cards in, whose crib it is, and every throw ranked over every cut, with a plain reason for the best one.

Work out a throw

The app’s throw: six cards dealt, two raised for Sam’s crib, the hint under the title

Pick two for the crib, with a hint that says why.

Every deal starts with the choice that decides most games: which two cards to give up. Tap the hint and the table names the best two and the reason in one sentence, for your crib or for Sam’s.

The advice changes with whose crib it is.
The deck waits at the right: you slide to choose where it is cut.

The app’s home screen: every way to play

Oak, walnut and brass, big enough for a phone held at arm’s length.

Four streets of thirty holes, two pegs a side, the skunk line marked. Your front peg leapfrogs your back one, and a small flag shows your last score until the next one lands.

Classic to 121, or a quick game to 61.
Twelve computer levels, from a first game to a hard one.

Your first hand, then eight lessons.

The coach deals you a real hand and talks you through it at the table: what to throw, what to say, what to count. Then eight lessons, two or three minutes each. The course is in the app.
