Cribbage Simulation
Description
Cribbage is my favorite card game, and my family takes our games very seriously. Over the years I’ve had several questions that were challenging to answer by just playing the game, such as:
- How much of an advantage is the first crib?
- Which cards are best for pegging?
- How does selecting 4 cards from an initial hand of 6 affect the prevalence of any given card in final hands?
Goal
Win more games of cribbage (with data)
Outcome
Based on the results of an earlier simulation written in Julia, I gave a well received TED-style presentation while at RSG as part of a weekly lunch-and-learn.
Notable Features
- Recursive function to check for runs
Technology Used
- Python
