Planned
Cribbage,
pegged properly.
The classic card game for two. A handsome board, careful counting, and a computer opponent who plays a fair, thoughtful game. It's everything Cribbage should be.
This is our plan for Cribbage. We haven't started building it yet. Blackjack and Solitaire come first, so the details will change as we get closer.

The board. The play. The count.
A real pegboard, a running count you can always see, and every point in your hand shown line by line.
Illustrations of the planned design. The finished app may look different.
How Cribbage plays
Two players. One board. And some of the most satisfying counting in all of cards.
The deal
Six cards each. You both give two to the crib, and the crib belongs to the dealer.
The play
Take turns playing toward thirty-one, pegging every fifteen, pair and run along the way.
The show
Count your hand, then the crib, with the starter card. First to 121 wins.
Cribbage, the way it's meant to be played
An opponent who plays it straight
The computer knows only what a person across the table would know. No peeking. No stacked decks.
Every point shown
Hands, pegging and the crib are counted point by point, so you always see where each score came from.
A board worth looking at
A classic wooden board, with pegs that leapfrog exactly the way they should.
Count it yourself
Love doing the sums? Count your own hand, with muggins if you like.
Unlimited undo
Sent the wrong card to the crib? Take it back. Always free.
Works offline
Play on a plane, or at the cabin. Nothing leaves your device.
Cribbage for everyone at the table
Clear cards. A readable board. And every count, spoken aloud.
VoiceOver throughout
Every card is announced by rank and suit, and every play is spoken, so you can play Cribbage without looking.
Voice and Switch Control
Standard accessibility actions, including a list of the cards you can play.
Card sizes that fit
Regular, large and extra-large cards, with full Dynamic Type everywhere else.
Four-color deck
A high-contrast deck where each suit has its own color and its own shape. Never color alone.
Reduce Motion
With Reduce Motion on, cards fade into place instead of flying.
Your pace, always
No timers. No waiting. Put the game down, and pick it up whenever you like.
Free to play. Pro, if you want more.
Pro is one optional purchase for dedicated players. Nothing to renew. Nothing to remove.

Good to know
When will Cribbage be released?
Cribbage comes after Blackjack and Solitaire, and we haven't started building it. We don't announce dates we can't keep. The day it's ready, this page will have a download link.
Will it cost anything?
The download is free, and so is the whole game. Pro will be an optional one-time purchase. There will never be ads, and never a subscription.
Can I play with friends?
Yes, with the people you know. Invite friends over FaceTime or Messages with SharePlay, or through Game Center, and any empty seats go to fair computer players. It's always free. No accounts, and no servers of ours. No matchmaking with strangers, either. And through Game Center, you can take turns over days.
Do I need an internet connection or an account?
No. Everything will work offline, with no account and no sign-in. Your games and stats stay on your device.
Will it come to Android?
That's the plan. We want to bring the whole collection to Android after the iPhone and iPad apps.
Data Not Collected
That's the App Store privacy label on every app we make, Cribbage included. No accounts. No analytics. No advertising. Nothing you do in the app leaves your device.
Something to play now.
Cribbage comes after Blackjack and Solitaire. There's no mailing list, because we don't collect email addresses. Just check back here.
