Solitary Providence Cribbage For One 2-Handed Person

This game is only for experienced cribbage players, not novice cribbage players since it can get confusing. 

Rules: 

1. Deal out the cards, 6 to each hand,   as you would deal to 2 people, but in this case,   it's right hand versus your left hand.

2. Cut the deck and flip over as usual for the '5th'  card in common; and if a jack turns up, it's 2 points for the hand that gets the crib.

3. Randomly choose 2 cards from the right hand and 2 cards from the left hand without looking at the 6 cards dealt to the respective 'hand' and deposit them into the 'crib'. It is helpful to keep a moveable marker such as a 'joker' to keep track of which hand is the dealer& of course, getting the crib.

4. Play out the cards in order, from top to bottom, Once the count is close to a 'go', it suitable to peak at the next card but the vertical ORDER of the 4 cards should not be changes, hence 'providence' occurs.

5. After all 8 cards are played, go ahead and count the score for each hand separately and then add the crib count to the 'dealer' hand. It is helpful to count out loud as in a real cribbage game audibles.

[The first time you play solitary cribbage for 2 handed people, record the score for right and left somewhere to determine which side of you is the WINNER! ] 

6. After recording the scores for your right hand and your left hand, read the psalm associated with your score aloud. 

7.Although the winning hand is typically considered to be 120, count beyond 120 in your final hand for some psalm variation.

🎱. This method is useful to avoid tarot card stupidity and avoid wicked magician tricks, as well as apreventing too many games of solitaire without Karen Carpenter songs to add more anguish to your lack of local pro-יהוה companionship.  There does seem to be a lack of non-dead people who rather play cribbage than punch their thumbs onto a cell phone like a rogue programmed cartoon character. 🦨🦨 

HERE ARE THE RESULTS FOR THE PREMIER EDITION OF Solitary Providence Cribbage!!

My right hand side team 🟢 Amethyst &Jasper  1st Providence score:  128  

 Psalm 119:128 "Therefore all orders I count as right; I have hated every false way."        

My left hand  side  team 🟠 Jacinth&Beryl         1st Providence score:  104

Psalm 119:104:" From your orders I get understanding, therefore I have hated every false way."

( Isolating a verse often leads to confusion.)

Not being able to 'plan' how you play out your cards adds an element of relaxation to the often tense cribbage match-ups that occur in competitive events.

Extra trivia: high hand was 12 points

# of '19' hands: surprisingly, only 1

I hereby certify that the above non-imaginary event occurred during month 85, night 2,480 and the corresponding key word from 1st Kings 20:33  is '   חָלַט ', which means 'to apprehend /to catch/ to accept as valid'. It is possible that the work 'clot' is associated with H2480, since when blood clots, blood  cells catch and apprehends other blood cells. It is important for blood to having clotting ability to seal up a wound, as Rodney Klotka  and Joe Murphy, the 1986 Detroit Redwing draft pick, should know.

H2,481 refers to a gold ornament, possible a jeweled item.

I have 1st Kings chapter 20 and a couple of psalms to read now, not palms to read .  📜

Remember, if you don't take your hobby seriously, it will never become a job.😀
