Fifteen Two Cribbage
A calm hand, a friendly table.
This is cribbage the way it’s actually played. Deal, lay away to the crib, cut the starter, peg out the play, then count what you kept. The board keeps score on two pegs like a wooden one, and every point is shown as it’s pegged so you can see exactly where it came from.
What you're doing at the table
Every hand is counted out
The game doesn’t just hand you a number. Each fifteen, pair, run and flush is called separately, with the cards that made it lit up, and it waits for you before moving on. If you’ve never been quite sure where a score came from, this is the part that fixes it.
An opponent worth the game
Three of them, and they genuinely differ. Casual plays on folklore. Skilled weighs every lay‑away against all forty‑six cards that could still turn up. Sharp does that, starves your crib, and pegs defensively, which you mostly notice as it quietly stops giving you anything.
Two, three or four
Each with its own deal: six cards each head‑to‑head, five and one straight to the crib at three, partnerships facing each other at four. Any seat can be a person or the computer, so you can pass the phone around a table or just fill the empty chairs.
Everyone on their own phone
Play Nearby seats two to four people at one table, each holding their own cards on their own iPhone or iPad. One phone hosts and shows a code, the others scan it and sit down, and any empty chair goes to the computer. It runs over Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth between the phones in the room, with no account and no internet, and each phone is only ever sent its own hand.
Play the hand again
Threw away the wrong two? Watch a short video and have that hand dealt again. Same cards, same score. Only the hand you just played, only once, and only if you go looking for it.
If you have never played
How to Play covers the whole game, from the deal through to the count, with worked examples you read at your own speed. It is not a tutorial you have to sit through to get to the cards, and you can open it in the middle of a hand and go back to where you were.
