Gridbage is a bold reinvention of the classic card game cribbage — blending the deep strategy of hold'em poker with the beloved scoring traditions of cribbage. Every placement is a decision. Every card you hold is a weapon.
Simple to learn. A lifetime to master.
Each player is dealt 8 cards. Choose 2 to discard into the crib — a bonus hand scored at the end.
Take turns alternating placing 5 cards each on the unique triangular grid board. The last card you hold on to is your hold card.
The cut card is revealed. Every row and column scores like cribbage — fifteens, pairs, runs, flushes, nobs, and his heels. The center card is shared by all.
Watch your pegs race around the classic oval cribbage board. First to 121 wins. Skunks and double skunks count.
Four levels. Four very different experiences.
"I know a little cribbage..."
The AI makes mistakes and gifts you scoring cards in the crib. A great way to learn without getting crushed.
"I picked a bad week to...stop playing beginner."
The AI plays smart half the time and gives you a chance the other half.
"To the Pain..."
The AI seems like it reads your mind, plans ahead, and plays to win. No gifts. No mercy.
"Surely you can't be serious."
The AI starts learning your game patterns and uses them for every decision. Pure computational carnage.
Eliminate luck. Measure pure skill.
Play the exact same cards your AI opponent plays — then swap and play their cards too. At the end, see a full comparison breakdown by hand and set. No lucky draws. No excuses. Just pure cribbage skill, exposed.
Challenge a real person. Anywhere in the world.
Gridbage with Friends brings the full Gridbage experience to asynchronous online play. Challenge someone you know using a 6-character friend code — no random matchmaking, no strangers, just you and whoever you invite.
Both players take turns at their own pace. When it's your turn, a notification lets you know. Each hand is fully scored and tracked, and your head-to-head record is kept automatically.
All game modes are supported — Regular and Duplicate Card — in both classic First to 121 and Grid scoring. Sign in with Apple or Google to get started. No password required.
One tap to create your account. Choose a nickname — it's the only name your opponents will ever see.
Every player gets a unique 6-character code. Give yours to a friend and challenge them directly — or enter theirs to send an invite.
Pick Rows or Columns. Pick Regular or Duplicate. Then cut for deal — lower card goes first.
Full scoring summaries after every hand. Win/loss records tracked for overall and head-to-head matchups.
Everything you've been missing.
A unique triangular grid (U.S. Patent D976,328) where rows and columns are cribbage hands waiting to be scored.
A beautifully rendered oval peg board. Skunks (91+) and double skunks (61+) both tracked and counted.

Solo play collects zero data — nothing leaves your device. Gridbage with Friends uses Firebase only to sync game state and your nickname. No real names, no email, no tracking.
No internet needed to play against the AI. Play on a plane, in the woods, anywhere. Gridbage with Friends requires a connection only when it's your turn.
