I built a free cribbage hand calculator that lists every fifteen, pair and run. Would love you to try to break it

0 Upvotes

Full disclosure, I made this. Pick your four cards and the starter, and it shows the total with every fifteen, pair, run, flush and nobs listed, and reads the count out the way you'd say it at the table. There's a tick box for scoring a crib, where only a five-card flush counts.

Calculator: https://cardcouch.com/cribbage/learn/hand-calculator

It runs on the same scoring code as the cribbage game on the same site, free and vs the computer, no account: https://cardcouch.com/cribbage. So if the calculator is wrong, the game is wrong too, and I'd like to know. Hands you think it miscounts, or counting situations it doesn't handle, are exactly what I'm after.

There's also a one-page printable scoring chart if anyone wants one for the table: https://cardcouch.com/cribbage/learn/scoring-chart

Bored at work, brought the essentials, and I usually have terrible luck with this game, not being able to start a second lap.

Except here I got 121 points before totalling all points in my last hand, with 4 cards left in the deck??????

I got fed up with ads in cribbage apps, so I made my own: free, no ads, no sign-up

Hi all, hope this is okay to post here (mods, feel free to remove it if not).

Every cribbage app I tried was full of ads, so I built my own with the help of AI: https://cribbage.poths.com

  • Play against the computer at three levels (easy, medium, hard)
  • Play friends in real time, each on their own phone: share a link or QR code
  • Short interactive lessons if you’re teaching someone new
  • Runs in the browser, and you can add it to your home screen. No account, no tracking, no ads.

It’s a hobby project, so I’d love your feedback, especially if you spot a scoring mistake or think the hard bot isn’t hard enough. What would you want added?

What got you into Cribbage? What do you like about it over other games?

33 Upvotes

I'm doing some Cribbage research and would love to know how people started playing Cribbage and why you like this game over other ones like hearts or spades. I played a lot of card games when I was a kid, but in high school started playing Cribbage with my friend who had a board sitting around his house. We enjoyed the 2 player aspect of the game, and the board gave us some more stuff to look at. Curious about other people's experiences.

Pegging

17 Upvotes

Alright cribbage friends! Give me your best pegging tips. My partner is an awesome pegger and I ….. am not always. Sometimes I try to play defensively and just set it up so no one gets many points but when I need points I always end up giving him a bunch! Help with tips!

Cool board Possibility of a Mobius scoring board

The dark line that divides the surface into thirds is actually just one long line. So if the holes were drilled through the surface each player could use the same track just starting half way across from eachother

The only issue im forseeing is getting into a double skunk situation where one player reaches or exceeds a 60pnt difference.

There are probably other logistical issues but saw the shape and immediately thought, that kind of looks like a score track.

A few weeks ago, I posted about a cribbage app my girlfriend and I built in our spare time. The response was overwhelmingly positive. Thanks to r/cribbage, In Da Crib is now live for iPhone and Android :)

A few weeks back, I posted a clip from In Da Crib, the little hobby project we built to track our stats and decide, once and for all, who the better cribbage player (and by proxy, better human) was.

The response was so overwhelmingly positive that we decided to try and publish it on the Apple App Store and Google play. Over 200 of you signed up to help us test the app, fix the bugs, and implement new features. And as a result, we're happy to say... it's now on both app stores!

This started as a desire to see a cribbage app that was more fun than what we were seeing from the other apps out there. Something with nicer visual design, smoother animations, unlockables, funny deck art, something nice to look at as you get skunked, you know? So, like any good neurospicy person with a hyperfixation, I decided to chip away at this in every minute of my spare time and after months and months, we ended up with something we're really happy with!

After posting on r/cribbage and incorporating all the amazing feedback we got, this grew into an app that now lets you play online against friends or strangers, play offline against bots if increasingly absurd difficulty, and unlock cool decks and artwork as you achieve stuff, like playing a 28-point hand, or a clubs flush, or scoring four-of-a-kind in pegging, or winning ten games in a row.

We even have a campaign mode called The Gauntlet where you have to try to beat eight bots in a row, some of whom are really hard, some of whom literally cheat, and some of whom are really hard and literally cheat.

And most importantly - we have very detailed head-to-head stats, to determine who is the aforementioned better human. (Turns out, it's her, not me. This may have been a mistake.)

Long story short, if you're interested, we'd love to have more people that we can play against. Please check it out if you're at all interested. You can get it at the links below, all free with zero ads.

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.indacrib.app

iPhone: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/in-da-crib-cribbage/id6790109415

On the web: https://indacrib.com/

Massive disclaimer: there will be bugs. We're still in the early days of this project. But let us know if you find any and we'll fix them asap.

Another massive disclaimer: more features are on the way, including a chat/messaging system, so you can emotionally support and/or belittle the opponent you're destroying. But if there are any more features you'd like to see in a cribbage app - please just let us know and we'll do our best to add them!

A HUGE thank you to all the fine folks of r/cribbage who jumped on board so enthusiastically during our testing, this literally wouldn't have been possible without you all :)

tl;dr -- we made a cribbage app that is fun (we think, at least). We'd love you to try it too, if you're looking for more fun in your crib. And we're both easybeats, so you should be able to pad your stats if you meet us in a quick match online sometime.

Website to play and learn cribbage!

0 Upvotes

I've been working on getting this on Google Play Store (sorry apple you are too expensive). But it is live as a website now.

I have been wanting an online cribbage app that has more than just 1v1. So I made an app (currently only a website) that has 1v1 but also 1v1v1, teams (2v2, 2v2v2, 3v3). Tournaments you can set up with any of those settings. Lots of learning tools if you are new to the game.

Would love some feed back from the community! fifteentwo.app

I'm not sure if this falls under rule 4. I am kind of advertising but it is a fully free to play game with no ads.

Daily Cribbage Solitaire Game!

4 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m a cribbage fan who built a small free game and would love feedback from people who actually know the scoring.

How it works: each day everyone gets the same shuffle. You place 16 cards into a 4x4 grid. Every row and column is scored as a cribbage hand using a shared starter card (15s, pairs, runs, flushes, and nobs all count). Get 61 or more to win.

It’s free, there’s no account or signup, and a game takes a few minutes. The scoring engine has been checked against all 12,994,800 possible five card hands, so if you ever see a score that looks wrong, I want to hear about it.

Link: https://pegandpip.com

I’d really like to know: is the 61 target about right, too easy, or too hard? Any rules you’d tweak? And does the scoring breakdown make sense to someone who counts hands all day? Thanks all!

We play a lot of cribbage, so I made a little 40-page game log. It's simple end-of-game records with several games per page: players, winner, score, skunk, where we played, and the date. The cover is a card-back design printed on 80# linen cardstock.

Do any of you keep a running record of games? I'm curious whether anyone tracks more than this.

Question What is the highest a person can score in the first hand of play, while keeping their opponent at zero?

6 Upvotes

Only talking about initial play and excluding show. The opponent must not get last card, and also we’re assuming that the opponent hasn’t already gotten Nobs. I think one time I calculated that a person could achieve 11 points in a single hand while keeping their opponent at zero, but I’m not sure how I arrived at that figure now.
