Deckhand Games

Ahoy, matey! Deckhand Games is a home for classic card games with a pirate twist. The first game aboard is Pirate Cribbage: cut, discard to the crib, peg, count your hand and race round the board to 121. It is free to play, with no ads and no real-money purchases. PLAY THE CREW Take on three computer opponents: Swabbie Sal (easy), Bosun Barnaby (medium) and Cap'n Crowe, the captain who counts every card (hard). Your cribbage hand arrives sorted, ace to king, and you can slide any card sideways to put it where you like. Playing the computer as a guest needs no account and works with no connection. PLAY A FRIEND ONLINE Send a friend an invite link, challenge someone from your crew, or try Quick Match. Ranked games, played by classic rules, move your rating through the ranked tiers. Not ready to stop? Ask for a rematch. CLASSIC OR PIRATE RULES Keep it classic, or switch on Pirate Rules: buried treasure, the Kraken, the Black Spot and six one-use powers. The powers are the Spyglass, Crow's Nest, Parley, Pickpocket, Rebury and Belay That!, which takes back the card you just played and now gives you a few seconds to use it. Play powers free, once each per game, or in Plunder mode, where each costs 2 points. Short pirate scenes play when the sea gets lively, and you tap Carry on when you are ready. NEW TO CRIBBAGE? Peggy the parrot talks you through a practice game, step by step, from cutting for the deal to counting the crib. Then try the Daily Discard: a new hand every day, which two cards would you throw? See how your throw ranks by points expected, and keep a best-throw streak going. KEEP YOUR SHIP'S LOG With a free account, every match is written up in the Ship's Log: detailed stats, ranks and achievements, plus a leaderboard to climb. One account works on iPhone, iPad and the website at deckhand.games. FAIR WINDS No ads, no real-money purchases, and we never sell your information. Players' names are filtered, online talk is a handful of fixed pirate call-outs, and you can report or block any player. You can delete your account from the Account page.
