Re: Cribbage variation
I had just been thinking in terms of allowing either player to double the stakes before the start of a new hand (and the player who owns the cube being allowed to redouble on a subsequent hand), essentially treating each deal as one "roll" in a backgammon match.
It'd be a bit different than backgammon - a lot fewer redoubles - because of how wildly a single hand can affect your position. Maybe we'd need to allow doubles both before a deal, and before the starter was turned?
