A modern version of the classic cribbage card game. Play against friends or computer opponents across five difficulty tiers. The bots run from amateur to professional, picking up more advanced cribbage strategy as you climb the ladder. You'll have training tools, discard and pegging accuracy numbers, and game stats to help you improve, too. No ads. No coins. Just cribbage. PLAY AGAINST FRIENDS Add friends by username or invite link, send a challenge, and play cribbage online with your friends. Nobs keeps a head-to-head record of all your games together, skunks included. Sign in and everything follows your account from device to device. CLIMB THE BOT LADDER Five difficulty tiers of bots. You unlock the next opponent by beating the last. The bots get the same honest shuffle you do. They never get better or worse cards to make the game easier or harder for you, and a bot cannot see your hand, your crib, or the deck. As you climb, the bots pick up real cribbage skills: better discarding, smarter pegging plays, longer memory, more board sense, fewer mistakes, and more. STATS AND METRICS TO HELP YOU IMPROVE Every game ends with stats to help you understand how you played. You’ll get discard grades, pegging accuracy grades, and even see who got more card luck - a measure of how much of the game came down to luck vs skill. Each discard is graded and you can see how your choice ranked against all 15 discard options. Your first five games include the full breakdown, and after that you get one free a day. TRAINING & CRIBBAGE TOOLS The hand counter will count any hand or crib, a tool for when you're playing with real cards in real life. It's the cribbage calculator for the moment at the table when someone says your count can't be right. The discard trainer deals you six cards, you toss two, and you see how your discard stacked up against every other option. It's the fastest way to sharpen your game. The best discard finder takes any six cards you throw at it and tells you the best toss. BUILT ON REAL CRIBBAGE RULES The Nobs cribbage engine was audited against the American Cribbage Congress 2025 rulebook. Fifteens, pairs, runs, flushes, nobs, his heels, and the crib flush rule that trips everyone up. Two players, aces low, a race to 121. THE CLASSIC GAME OF CRIBBAGE Cribbage goes by crib, cribble, and noddy, and it has been played on a pegboard to 121 since the seventeenth century. If you grew up playing euchre, pinochle, hearts or spades, this card game will feel familiar. Whether you're a cribbage pro or still learning how to play cribbage, this modern cribbage app is for you. NOBS PRO One purchase, no subscriptions, no renewals. Pro adds the twelve Champion bots at the top of the ladder and removes the daily cap on full game breakdowns. Everything else is free.
