Play Cribbage online — 2-player pegging with a real wood-grain board.
Cribbage is the classic 2-player game — pegging through the play phase, the crib, the show, and the chase to 121 points around the board. The math (fifteens, pairs, runs, flushes, his nobs) is half the fun, and Family Time scores every hand for you while you learn.
The board is rendered as a real wood-grain plank with metallic sliding pegs — the kind of detail that makes a 4 a.m. cribbage hand feel like the kitchen-table version. The crib auto-cuts, the starter card flips into place, and the auto-score panel breaks down exactly how each hand was counted so you can argue with confidence.
Three AI difficulty levels let you practice solo — and the hard bot will absolutely teach you something about discarding to your own crib vs. theirs.

Cribbage FAQ
Does Family Time support 3-handed Cribbage?
Right now Family Time runs the classic 2-player head-to-head game with the crib alternating each hand. 3-handed and 4-handed (partnership) Cribbage are on the roadmap.
How is the score calculated?
Family Time auto-counts every hand and the crib using the standard rules — fifteens (2 each), pairs (2 each, 6 for three-of-a-kind, 12 for four), runs, flushes (4 in hand, 5 with the starter, 5+1 for a same-suit cut into the crib), and his nobs (1 for the J of the cut suit in your hand). The panel shows the breakdown.
What if I disagree with the score?
The breakdown panel shows every component that was counted (e.g. "2 fifteens = 4, pair = 2, run of 3 = 3, total = 9"). If you spot a real bug, the in-game chat goes straight to support.
