Create a private table above and you'll get a short code and a one-click invite link. Send it to your friends and they land straight at your table — they can even join as guests without making an account. Then it's real live cribbage: discard to the crib, cut, peg around the board, and chat while you play.
Playing four-handed? Choose a four-player table and share the same link with three friends. Everyone gathers in the lobby, the host sets the partnerships and starts the game, and you play the classic partnership version: five cards each, one to the crib, and partners score together toward 121.
Games run in the browser on desktop, tablet, or phone, so it works across the room or across the country. Private games are just for fun and don't touch your rating; when you both want stakes, queue up a ranked match online instead. Waiting on a slow friend? Warm up against the computer.
Teaching someone the game? Point them at how to play cribbage and the scoring chart — the table counts every hand automatically, so nobody has to be the referee. The full rules and strategy guide are there when they're hooked.
