In Da Crib is our love letter to the greatest card game ever created: Cribbage. And it's completely free, no ads, and no in-app purchases. We're certified crib-heads, but we got sick of all the cribbage apps looking so... dull. Boring. Unexciting. Everything that cribbage ISN'T. So we made In Da Crib. It's the same game you've always loved, but now given the treatment it deserves: pixel art, retro gaming feel, ultra-smooth cardplay, exciting animations, and rarity ranks for each hand you score. Next time you drop a 5-5-5-J with a 5 starter (nobs), your 29 point hand will get the aesthetic fanfare it deserves. Jump into a quick match and we'll find you a fellow crib tragic to play against. Or challenge your friends directly. Or hone your skills offline (no account needed) against cribbage bots which range in difficulty from easybeats, to genuine contenders, to impossible algorithms who literally cheat at cards. Take on The Gauntlet, a brutal campaign mode against increasingly difficult bot-cheaters. And all the while, unlock dozens of beautiful custom decks by completing challenges. Plus, we give detailed stats on your cribbage career. And more importantly, we keep head-to-head stats between you and your friends. Now you can definitively answer the questions, "who's got the biggest win? How many times have I skunked you? Who's got the longest streak? Which one of us is the better human being?" In Da Crib is completely free. No ads. No in-app purchases. Just our love letter to the most addictive card game in history.
