Cribbage.... but roguelike.

Cribbage Crawl is real single-player cribbage with a roguelike twist. Crawl through the Parlors of town, beat their regulars at the board, and build a collection of pegs that bend the rules in your favor. Then take on the Skunk King.

If you grew up pegging hands at the kitchen table, or you've lost whole weekends to deckbuilders, this one's for you.

How a run works

  1. Play real cribbage. Discard to the crib, cut the starter, peg to 31, and count your hand. Every rule you know is here, from his heels to the last card.
  2. Win to earn gold. Skunk your opponent for bonus gold.
  3. Shop for pegs. Each peg changes how you score. Fifteens worth 3, pairs that count double, a crib you score on every deal.
  4. Climb three streets. The track gets longer and the opponents get sharper. Every third match is a boss with a house rule.
  5. Peg out the Skunk King, who starts 25 points ahead, and claim the Parlor.
