Auto count

Is there any way to turn off auto-count in cribbage? I like counting my own hands and if I miss a point then...my bad. Auto-count does not leave room for human error, which is all part of the game.

Or even add the Muggins rule, so your opponent has a chance to steal the points you miss! I'm not personally a fan of it, but I think it would add to the options for the game at least!

I would also love this feature. Nothing more fun than shouting MUGGINS. Well usually have it shouted at me as I always forget!

I agree with this too. Counting your points is part of the game and one that I enjoy.

Imagine going too high with the muggins rule... Might be even weirder to have people say 150 instead of conceding

I want to go on record stating that this is the absolute worst idea I've ever heard. In addition to just being a dumb idea, it's waaaaaay too easy to abuse. This shouldn't even be an option, let alone the Arena default.

I agree! I love counting, and muggins is fun (especially in real-time). It's actually the absolute best idea I've ever heard

because it would be an *option*. So if you want autocount you can leave it on, and if you don't you can turn it off. If autocount is off and you want muggins you can turn it on, or you could leave it off. Everybody wins!
If you do make muggins an option I might suggest a splashy thing that pops up, similar to when someone yells MUGGINS! in sheer excitement.
