How to Play
Cribbage here is a single hand, start to finish: six cards each, two discarded into a crib of four, one card cut from the rest of the deck, then the pegging to thirty-one and the count. Your score is your pegging plus your four cards plus the whole crib, against the CPU's pegging plus its own four. One hand decides it.
Controls
- Discard — Tap two cards in your hand
- Play — Tap a card to peg with it
- Mode — Buttons switch between vs CPU and two players
- Difficulty — Easy, medium or hard for the CPU
Tips & Tricks
- 1The crib is yours. Four cards go into it — two of yours and two of the CPU's — and all four are counted for you at the end, which makes a pair you throw away worth two points to you and nothing to anyone else.
- 2The count is fifteens at two points a combination, pairs at two with three of a kind at six and four at twelve, runs at their length, a four-card flush at four or five if the cut matches, and one for the jack of the cut's suit sitting in your hand.
- 3A cut jack is two points before a card is played, and it goes to you. Those two points are scored separately from the hand, so a run of bad cards can still open with a lead.
- 4Pegging rewards the order rather than the cards: fifteen is two, exactly thirty-one is two, a pair on the pile is two, three of a kind six and four twelve, and a run of the last three or more is worth its length. There is no point for playing the last card, so a small card that makes fifteen beats a big one that makes nineteen.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long is a game?
One hand. There is no race to 121 — six cards are dealt, two discarded each, one card cut, the pegging is played out, and the hands and crib are counted once. Whichever side has more wins.
Who gets the crib?
You do, every hand, whichever side dealt. That is not standard cribbage, where the crib belongs to the dealer, and it is worth knowing because it makes throwing a good pair into the crib much cheaper than it should be.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes. The hand is rendered as real buttons rather than drawn on the canvas, so discarding and pegging are ordinary taps and no keyboard is needed.
