Cribbage Go - The cribbage scoreboard that lives in your pocket. Lay your phone flat on the table and let both players keep score at once. The screen splits in two, the top half flips around, and each player gets their own side with big, easy taps. First to 121 wins. No paper, no pegs to lose, no math in your head. Cribbage Go was built for real games in real places. It works completely offline, so it is right at home at the campsite, on the boat, in the cabin, on a long flight, or at the kitchen table on game night. No signal, no account, no setup. Just open it and play. Score in seconds - Tap +1, +2, +5, or +10 on your side. A running "+N this turn" tally shows how much you have pegged this hand, and a 0 button records a hand where you came up empty. Made a mistake? Undo walks back tap by tap, all the way to zero. A real cribbage board, on screen - Watch both players race down the track toward 121, with front and back pegs just like a wooden board. The skunk line (90) and double-skunk line (60) are marked, so you always know when someone is about to get skunked. Save your players and settle the rivalry - Add the people you play with, give them an emoji, and Cribbage Go remembers. Over time you build up win-loss records, head-to-head rivalries, streaks, and skunk counts. Start a rematch in one tap with "Run it back." Relive every game - Finished games are saved with a full recap: a score-race chart of how the lead changed hands, biggest hands, average per turn, and how long the game took. Made to feel light - Clean, fast, and quiet. Automatic light and dark themes follow your phone, or pick your own. Everything stays on your device. Free to play, forever - Keeping score is always free. Unlock Cribbage Go Pro once to keep your stats, rivalries, and game history. One purchase, yours for good. No subscription, no ads. Grab your deck, lay down the phone, and deal. May the best pegger win.
