Battlefield Cribbage is a strategic variation of cribbage that adds new dimensions to the classic game, while still preserving its purity. It requires a higher level of skill and offers deep, engaging gameplay.
One of the key benefits of Battlefield Cribbage is that it relies less on luck and more on skill. This means that players have greater control over the game and can really make a difference with their strategic moves. It's a game that you'll want to talk about long after the game has ended.
Battlefield Cribbage is divided into multiple rounds called skirmishes, which are made up of individual turns. Players can choose to end the round at any time or continue until the deck of cards is exhausted. During each skirmish, there are two ways to score. The first is through scoring the frontline, while the second option is scoring the battlefield. This involves scoring the best four out of five cards in your hand in conjunction with a common turn card. The battlefield is scored at the end of each skirmish or round.
To spice things up, Battlefield Cribbage adds a joker into play, known as the kill card. This card has the power to kill any hand that it's a part of during the scoring of the battlefield. It's a fun addition that adds yet another layer of strategy to the game.
For those who struggle with scoring, Battlefield Cribbage also features a hand calculator to aid in scoring hands. There's also a game recorder for replaying hands and a game log to record game activity. The game can be played with 2, 3, or 4 players, with players choosing to either play as individuals or teams.
Battlefield Cribbage is available for both Windows and Mac OSX, with a pricing point of $22.95. With so many exciting features and new dimensions added to the game of cribbage, it's no wonder why Battlefield Cribbage is one of the most talked-about card games on the market.
