The classic card game Cribbage also known as Crib, Cribble, and Noddy. A card game traditionally for two players, that involves playing and grouping cards in combinations which gain points. Cribbage has several distinctive features: the cribbage board used for score keeping, the crib, box, or kitty, a separate hand counting for the dealer, two distinct scoring stages (the play and the show), aces low, and a unique scoring system including points for groups of cards that total fifteen (15). This Cribbage mobile app lets you play the classic card game Cribage anywhere without needing your wooden Cribbage pegging board. You can play online or even offline. The playing cards are large so Grandpa will have no trouble playing his favorite board game. All the scoring is automatic using the built-in calculator including a breakdown of the point details, so no need for Muggins or Shotgun Cribbage. Are you ready to skunk your family in one of the most popular card games created in the 17th century? The rules of Cribbage are built in making it easy to learn how to play Cribbage / Cribble. This app track all your statistic including your hand, crib, pegging average, max, and life time point totals. Never get board with the plethora of achievements to master the perfect hand with a flush, pairs, three of a kind, 15, and super combos. Play at any difficultly: Easy, Medium, Hard, or Crazy Ninja. This multiplayer game classically plays 2 players in a head to head battle like Speed, Nertz, Canasta, Pinochle, Solitaire Showdown, Backgammon, and Gin Rummy, but only Cribbage is played with a cribbage pegboard.

Two-player cribbage to 121, played by the standard rules. Play the bot offline at three difficulty levels, or a real opponent online. DAILY DEAL Once a day, everyone gets the same six cards and the same cut. You throw two to the crib, then see how your score stacks up against the best possible for that cut. Play every day to build a streak, and send your result to the people you play with. A COACH FOR YOUR DISCARDS Not sure which two to throw? Against the bot, tap Hint and the coach lights up its pick, whether you're discarding or pegging. After each hand, the score breakdown shows where your discard ranked among all 15 you could have made and what the best one was worth on average before the cut. If a good discard still leaves you a bad hand, blame the cut, not your play. A BOT THAT DOESN'T PEEK On hard, the bot decides what to throw to the crib by checking every possible starter and going with the best average. When pegging, it goes after fifteens, pairs, runs and 31, and tries not to leave you any. At every level it sees only its own cards and the ones already played, never your hand, the cards you threw to the crib, or the deck. YOUR STATS Track your average hand, crib and pegging, plus your best hand and any 29s. See how often you found the best discard and how many points you leave on the table each hand. Keep your record against each bot level and online, with skunks given and taken. Your stats stay on your phone. ONLINE Matchmaking pairs you with whoever is looking for a game at that moment. Each move is on a short timer. Online games count toward your Elo rating, and you decide whether to appear on the leaderboard. There's no friends list, so you don't pick your opponent. If nobody is around, you can play the bot instead. You can report a player's name or block them. ALSO IN THE GAME • Fifteens, pairs, runs, flushes, nobs, his heels, the go and 31 • A score breakdown after every hand • A tutorial for your first game • Text grows up to 200% to match your text size setting • English, Italian, Spanish, French, German and Portuguese No account needed: open the app and play.
