Play Cribbage Online

Cribbage is a two-player race to 121 points where every hand has two parts: choose discards for the crib, then score combinations with the starter card. This version keeps the pace quick by automating the opponent and showing the scoring pieces clearly after each hand.

How Cribbage Works

You are dealt six cards. Pick two for the crib, keep four, then the starter card completes the five-card scoring hand. Fifteens, pairs, runs, flushes, and nobs all score points. The dealer also scores the crib, so choosing discards is the key decision.

Cribbage Strategy

Keep cards that work together in multiple ways. Fives combine well with tens and face cards, nearby ranks create run chances, and suited cards can produce flush points. When it is not your crib, avoid handing your opponent easy fifteens or paired cards.
