Score Summary

How to Use

🏃 Starting a game

Tap New game to set player names, each player's starting score, who deals first (holds the crib), and the winning target (121 standard, 61 short, or custom). Names are remembered for next time.

🔢 Scoring a round

Each side shows all its rows on one screen: the dealer has Pegging, Hand and Crib; the other player has Pegging and Hand. Score the play on the Pegging row, then press Lock in — that opens the Hand (and Crib) row. Press Unlock any time to fix pegging; your hand and crib points are kept. Hand and crib rows never lock. Counting order is shown on each row: the other player's hand 1st, the dealer's hand 2nd, the crib 3rd.

➕ Entering points

Use −1, +1, +2 on each field. Press and hold +1 or +2 for 1 second to open a menu of bigger values (3–12, plus 16, 20, 24, 29). A small tally line shows each value you added, e.g. +1 +2 +1. On a Hand or Crib row, tap Helper to count the cards with the Score Helper and put the score straight into that row.

⏩ Next round

The other player presses Confirm my score once pegging is locked and their hand is in. Then the dealer (with pegging locked) taps Next round to bank the round — the dealer alternates automatically and a Round N banner appears. The score and new dealer are announced aloud.

📱 Two layouts

Tap ⇅ to switch views. Classic shows everything from one side. Tabletop splits the screen so each player sees their own side — the top half is flipped to face the player across the table. The dealer's side is highlighted with a Dealer badge.

✅ Tabletop confirm

The non-dealer taps Confirm my score when done; only then can the dealer advance the round. Tap it again to edit — changing the non-dealer's score or pegging also takes the confirmation back.

🏆 Winning

Reaching the target never stops scoring: totals keep counting past it and a reached badge appears, so you can enter the rest of the round. Then press Submit round; you're asked to confirm the winner (or Not yet to go back and edit the round). If both players are past the target, you choose who got there first. Confirming triggers a celebration — badge, confetti, and a fanfare. A skunk (loser under target−30) is flagged.

📝 History & Save

History shows a read-only list of every completed round. Save opens a text summary you can copy. Your game auto-saves — close and reopen in the same browser to resume.

⚙ Settings

☾ toggles light/dark theme. 🔊 mutes sound, speech, and vibration. Both are remembered.

🧮 Score Helper

Tap 🧮 (in the middle bar, or on the start screen) to count any hand. Tap the 4 cards in the hand, then the starter, then Calculate. It shows the total and explains each fifteen, pair, run, flush and nobs step by step. Pick Counting the crib for the crib. It opens over your game and never changes it. Tap a chosen card to remove it.

Cribbage Rules
🎮 Objective & Deal

First to 121 pts wins (61 for short game). Deal 6 cards each; each discards 2 to the Crib. Cut the deck for a starter card — if it's a Jack the dealer scores 2 (Heels).

▶ The Play (Pegging)

Players alternate playing cards, calling out the running total (max 31). Can't play without exceeding 31? Say Go — opponent scores 1. Hitting exactly 31 scores 2. Last card after all plays scores 1 (or 2 for 31).

🔢 Pegging Scores

15 (total = 15): 2  ·  Pair: 2  ·  3-of-a-kind: 6  ·  4-of-a-kind: 12
Run of 3+ consecutive: 1 pt/card  ·  Go: 1  ·  Exact 31: 2

📋 Counting Hands

Non-dealer counts first, then dealer's hand, then Crib (dealer only). Each hand scored with the starter. Face cards = 10.

📊 Hand Scoring

15s (any combo = 15): 2 pts each
Pair: 2  ·  3-of-a-kind: 6  ·  4-of-a-kind: 12
Run of 3+ consecutive: 1 pt/card
Flush (4 same suit in hand): 4 pts; all 5 with starter: 5 pts
Nobs (J matching starter's suit): 1 pt  ·  Max hand: 29 pts

💀 Skunk

121-pt game: loser below 91 = Skunk. Below 61 = Double Skunk.

Questions

Will it always be free?

Yes. The web version will stay free and ad-free forever. We plan to add a mobile app with paid plans later.

Is this cribbage score keeper really free?

Yes. It is free, with no ads, no account and no in-app purchases.

Does it work offline?

Yes. After you open it once, the app is saved on your device and works without an internet connection. Installing it to your home screen makes it open like any other app.

How many players does it support?

It keeps score for two players or two teams. For a four-player partnership game, each pair shares one score.

How do I enter points?

For each step of the round, tap +1 or +2 to add points, and press and hold either button to pick a larger value. The tap tally shows what you added, and −1 undoes a mistake.

Can it count my hand for me?

Yes. Open the Score helper (the abacus button), tap the four cards in your hand and the starter, and press Calculate. It shows the total and explains every fifteen, pair, run, flush and nobs. Choose "Counting the crib" for the crib, where a flush only counts with all five cards in one suit.

Does it detect a skunk?

Yes. In a 121-point game, if the loser finishes under 91 it flags a skunk, and under 61 a double skunk.

Can I play to 61 instead of 121?

Yes. Choose 121, 61 or enter any target when you start a game.

Is my game saved?

Yes. The game saves automatically on your device, so you can close the app and pick up where you left off. Player names are remembered for next time.
