The object of Cribbage Squares is to create eight (8) cribbage hands of five
(5) cards each. The eight (8) hands will then be evaluated and scores 
displayed for each hand, as well as a game total for ALL hands.

The cards will be shuffled and 16 cards will be turned up, one at a time. The
player then drops the cards on a four by four grid by selecting a grid number
(1-16). As the exposed deck card is played onto the grid, the next card in the
deck will be turned up. After all 16 cards are played on the grid, a 17th card
will be turned up and will represent a COMMON fifth card for EACH of the 8 
"hands" in the grid. The "hands" are the four rows across and the 4 columns 
going down. The scores will be calculated for each row then for each column,
with each score being noted next to the row and at the bottom of the column.

Strategy is very important in this game. For example, you will learn to go for
combinations of 15 in one direction, and prepare for runs and double runs in 
the other. As you play more and more, you will begin t  get a feel for the best
way to place your cards for the best possible chance for a high score.
