Muggins is a digital cribbage board. Set your device flat on the table, play with your real cards, and keep score with the Muggins app. Pull and release the knobs to peg points. Pull back or hit the undo button to remove them. THE BOARD, NOT THE CARDS Muggins lets you play cribbage with your real cards. You shuffle, deal, and count your own points. The app simply acts as a scorekeeper, a digital cribbage board. HOW IT WORKS • Open the app and play. No account creation, no sign-in. • Pull and release the knobs to peg points. Drag your knob and a live preview shows you how many points you'll add once you release it. No number pads and no typing. • Tap the peg to subtract a point. Hit the undo button to undo the last points added. • Good sound quality. You'll hear a click for every point as you pull, a solid clunk when the peg lands. Mute it in settings if you'd rather play quietly. • Game over at 121 — a dedicated result screen and a stamp on the loser's score if they got skunked (or double-skunked, we're not here to protect feelings). • Your current game saves automatically if you leave the app. PICK YOUR BOARD Three boards to play on: • Classic — warm cream card stock, enamel pegs, tilted playing-card score displays. Free. • Obsidian — a matte-black board with an LED trail and softly glowing pegs. • Casino — green felt, ivory rails, and a thin gold pinstripe. FAIR AND SIMPLE PRICING Muggins is free to play, supported by ads that never interrupt a game. There's an optional one-time purchase that will remove all ads and unlock all board themes. No subscription, no recurring costs. FOR PEOPLE WHO ALREADY LOVE CRIBBAGE Muggins is a scoreboard and it assumes you know the game already. It's for the cabin where the board went missing, the vacation rental, the airplane tray, the bar. If you carry a deck of cards, you now carry a cribbage board too. Made for iPhone and iPad. Grab a deck. Deal six. The board's ready.
