Nobs Cribbage - Crib Card Game

A modern version of the classic cribbage card game. Play against friends or computer opponents across five difficulty levels. The bot opponents run from amateur to cribbage pro, slowly getting better and picking up more advanced cribbage strategy as you climb the ladder.

You’ll have access to training tools, discard and pegging accuracy numbers, cribbage hand calculators, and game stats to help you improve, too.

No ads. No coins. Just cribbage.

PLAY AGAINST FRIENDS
Add friends by username or invite link, send a challenge, and play cribbage online with your friends. Nobs maintains a head-to-head record of all your games together.

Nobs is an online multiplayer, cross-platform game, so you can beat your grandpa three states away.

CLIMB THE BOT LADDER
Five difficulty tiers of bots - Rookie, Club, Card Shark, Master, and Champion. You unlock the next computer opponent by beating the last.

The bots get the same honest shuffle you get, they never get better or worse cards to make the game easier or harder for you. A bot cannot see your hand, your crib, or the deck. As you climb the ladder, the bots start to pick up real cribbage skills and strategy. They get better at discarding, make better pegging plays, have better memory, board sense, and make fewer mistakes.

STATS AND METRICS TO HELP YOU IMPROVE
Every game ends with stats to help you understand how you played. You’ll get discard grades, pegging accuracy grades, and even see who got more card luck - a measure of how much of the game came down to luck vs skill. Each discard is graded and you can see how your choice ranked against all the other 15 discard options.


TRAINING & CRIBBAGE TOOLS
The cribbage hand counter tool will count any hand or crib, a tool you can use when you’re playing with real cards in real life. It’s a cribbage calculator for the moment at the table when someone says your count can’t be right.

The discard trainer will deal you six cards, you toss two, and then you’ll see how good that discard was relative to all the other discard options. This helps you make better cribbage decisions.

The best discard finder will take any six cards you throw at it and tell you the best discard option.


BUILT ON REAL CRIBBAGE RULES
This is classic cribbage. The Nobs cribbage engine was audited against the American Cribbage Congress 2025 2-player rulebook. Fifteens, pairs, runs, flushes, nobs, his heels, and the crib flush rule that trips everyone up. Two players, aces low, a race to 121.

THE CLASSIC GAME OF CRIBBAGE
Cribbage goes by crib, cribble, and noddy, and it has been played on a pegboard to 121 since the seventeenth century. If you grew up playing euchre, pinochle, hearts or spades, this card game will feel familiar. If your phone already has solitaire or backgammon on it, you’ll enjoy Nobs.

This is not a casino game. This is not poker, not blackjack, not bingo, nothing to wager and no way to buy your way past a bad deal. Whether you are a cribbage pro or are still learning how to play cribbage, this modern cribbage app is for you.
