HOW TO PLAY Each round you and your opponent get 6 cards, discard 2 into the dealer's "crib", and a starter card is cut from the deck. Pegging is the turn-based phase where every card you play adds to the running total. Keep it under 31 and score for fifteens, pairs, and runs as you go. After cards are exhausted, you count your hand against the starter, the dealer counts theirs, and the dealer counts the crib. First to 121 wins. The dealer rotates each round, so the crib advantage swings every hand. WHO IT'S FOR Cribbage veterans who want a clean, fast 1v1 client, and new players who want to learn the rules without a 30-page manual. No "energy", no daily-spin nonsense. Just cribbage. Online play matches you with another player looking for a game. There is no friends list and no invite: you tap FIND A MATCH and the next opponent is whoever is searching too.
