Play Cribbage online free against the computer

Cribbage is the classic two-player card game of pegging and hand counting: race your opponent to 121 points on the board by scoring fifteens, pairs, runs and flushes in the play and in the show. CardCouch lets you play cribbage online free, in your browser, with no download and no account.

Deal six cards, throw two to the crib, then peg through the play and count your hand, the crib and his nobs exactly as you would at a kitchen table. The computer opponent plays a real game — it discards to protect its crib, pegs for fifteens and pairs, and counts every point it is owed.

On CardCouch

  • Three difficulty levels: Easy for learning, Medium for a fair game, Hard for a real challenge.
  • Automatic, itemised scoring with a running history so you can see every fifteen, pair and run.
  • Full-size cards on desktop and a layout built for phones; play with a mouse, a finger or the keyboard.
  • Your difficulty setting is remembered between visits. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for.

Frequently asked questions

Is this cribbage game really free?
Yes. Every game on CardCouch is free to play with no download, no sign-up and no in-app purchases. The site is supported by unobtrusive ads outside the play area.
Do you play to 121 or 61?
Games are played to 121 points, the standard full-board game. A player who is skunked (finishes under 91) or double-skunked (under 61) is called out on the game-over screen.
Does the computer count muggins?
No. Scoring is automatic and exact for both players, so there is nothing to miss and nothing for either side to steal.
Can I play cribbage on my phone?
Yes. The table is designed for phone screens first, with large tap targets and a fixed layout that does not jump around as cards are played.
