The goal is to be the first to score 121 points over several deals. Points are scored for card combinations that occur during the play or in a player's hand or in the crib -- the cards discarded before the play. Five Card Cribbage variation is an older traditional version that is still popular in England. 5 card Cribbage differs from the more modern 6 card cribbage by the number of cards in hand (initially 5) and by the score to play - usually it is played to 61 points. Paul Rice of Wells, ME who plays in US national cribbage tournaments says that in cribbage "75 percent or more" depends on the skill of the player. Per Paul Rice: "in cribbage, every card you play and every card your opponent plays, you're trying to throw a curve ball in there"... "you can be dealt a gosh-awful hand and if you play it right, you can advance up the board." Cribbage Live uses a fast cribbage central server supporting different cribbage clients in addition to iOS-based cribbage client.

Pair for Two is cribbage the way it’s meant to be played — face to face, but on two phones. Each player holds their own hand on their own device, so nobody peeks. Deal, cut, peg, and count your way to 121. TWO PHONES, ONE TABLE Every player gets their own screen and their own private hand. Sit across from a friend and play a real game of cribbage — your cards stay yours. PLAY NEARBY OR ONLINE • Nearby: connect two phones directly over Bluetooth and peer-to-peer Wi-Fi. No internet, no accounts, no sign-in. • Online: invite a friend through Game Center and play from anywhere. JUST KEEPING SCORE? Playing with real cards? Tap Scoreboard and lay the device between you. There's a slider at each end, so you add your own points, and the score in the middle turns to face whoever just pegged — readable from both sides of the table, on a phone or an iPad. A REAL CUT FOR THE STARTER Just like at the kitchen table: the non-dealer taps the deck to cut it, and the dealer turns up the starter card. Little rituals, done right. SCORE YOUR WAY Pick the style that fits your table: • Automatic — the app counts and pegs every point for you. • Player responsibility — no hints. Count it yourself, just like the real thing. This is how new games start. You’re nudged when it matters — when a “Go” passes to you, or when someone hits 31 — so nobody misses a point. YOUR RECORD Every game is kept: wins, streaks, skunks, your best hand and time played. Game Center adds achievements — the perfect 29, a comeback from 30 behind, five in a row — and a lifetime wins leaderboard. BUILT TO FEEL GREAT • Rich haptics and sound for every card, cut, deal, and win. • A proper skunk (and double-skunk!) celebration. • Clean, legible cards that scale beautifully from iPhone to iPad. • Landscape play designed for two people sitting across a table. DROP-IN, DROP-OUT Step away and come back — games reconnect quickly, and you can rejoin an interrupted match right where you left off. Whether you’re teaching a beginner with automatic scoring or keeping it honest with manual counting, Pair for Two brings the classic two-hand game to the two phones already in your pockets.
