Score 121 points before your opponent to win in Cribbage! You'll play through three distinct phases repeatedly until someone wins. Use your mouse to interact with cards during each phase.

Phases of Cribbage 
Players move through three phases in sequence — The Deal, The Play, and The Show. You'll need to master each phase's unique rules to win.

Phase 1: The Deal 
You'll receive 5 or 6 cards, depending on player count. You must contribute 1-2 cards (based on player count) to the "crib" - an extra hand that belongs to the dealer and will score them additional points later.

Phase 2: The Play 
Players alternate laying down one card at a time, keeping track of their sum, which must stay under 31. You can score points by creating sequences, pairs, or reaching a sum of 15. Face cards count as 10 points, Aces as 1, and other cards match their face value. Click the "Scoring System" button to see all scoring combinations.

Phase 3: The Show 
Once players have played all their cards, everyone counts their scores. The dealer counts last and adds points from their crib hand.
