Acey-deucy anyone? How about cribbage?
Ok, I'm gonna try this again because I got no answers last time and SOMEONE must play these games!
Does anyone know of an online acey-deucy game? Acey-deucy is a variant of backgammon often played in the military. I'd prefer a free one, but I'd pay if it was good and wasn't expensive. It would be fun to play against other people too.
I can find tons of backgammon games but none that I can find have the acey-deucy variant.
I'd also like to find an online cribbage game.

Description of The Games People Play: Gin ∙ Cribbage ∙ Checkers ∙ Backgammon
The Games People Play: Gin ∙ Cribbage ∙ Checkers ∙ Backgammon is a game published in 1990 by Software Toolworks, Inc., The, the theme is board / party game, cards. It features a strategy genre and uses a perspective.
The Games People Play is a lackluster collection of two card games (Gin and Cribbage) and two board games (Checkers and Backgammon). Clearly Software Toolworks wanted to market the game as a "premium" title, touting numerous features and endorsements. For instance, from MobyGames game entry: "Gin and Cribbage offer supposedly personality-based A.I. advisors and opponents. The checkers program is endorsed by the American Checker Federation and includes official play rules such as 2-move and 3-move openings. The backgammon game has four variations of play (Traditional, Acey-deucy, Dutch, and Plakoto)." Unfortunately, these features cannot make up for the fact that none of the games in TGPP is particularly challenging. I was able to beat the computer opponent in all 4 games fairly consistently - the AI is a far cry from a decent one in Software Toolworks' own Chessmaster games. Since AI is the most important aspect of a good board game, TGPP leaves a lot to be desired. Recommended only if you are a novice to these games and prefer to learn the games rather than finding a tough opponent to beat.
