What's New Recently

Merged the separate play piles into one staggered pile in order to show the sequence of laid cards from each player. This helps to identify count points during the play. Also, the out-of-play laid cards are now dimmed so you can focus on the current count.

Replaced the bottom menu bar with a menu button that expands and contracts as needed.

This game assumes you already know how to play Cribbage.

Cribbage rules

Here are some browser tips when playing the game.

Selecting a page "refresh" in your browser will keep the current scores and deal new hands. Note that the scores are only saved after the Show is complete (all hands are counted). If you exit the game before finishing the count the scores will not be updated.

The Layout

Your hand is at the bottom of the screen. Your opponent's hand, the computer, is at the top.

You are SOUTH, the computer is NORTH.

Scores are displayed on a traditional style crib board. Your score is the red track and the computer's score is blue (the white track is for 3-handed Crib and is included for decoration only). Scores are also displayed in the red and blue badges on the right.

Note that the Crib Board is only visible when space is available.

The Discard

Cards are dealt automatically when you start a new game. Pressing the hint button (?) will point out your best discards. After discarding, the Starter card is chosen automatically at random and displayed at the left.

The Play

During play, the running count and any play points are displayed for you (momentarily) and your opponent. Below is a recording of what was said by each player during the play. You can refer back here at any time to review the current play.

The Show

After the play has completed the hands and crib are scored. The non-dealer always scores first. The Starter card is included when scoring a hand. The total score is displayed on a button to the right of the cards.

Here are the scores so far for the hand in play.

If you want more detail, tapping the button will cycle through each scoring set. Tapping anywhere on the table outside the score button will continue the game.
