About Cross Cribbage
Cribbage meets strategy board game. Cross Cribbage transforms classic cribbage into a fresh, tactical experience played on a 5x5 grid. Instead of scoring traditional pegging hands, players take turns placing cards to build cribbage “hands” across rows and columns. One player scores the rows, the other scores the columns. Every placement matters. You’re building your own scoring opportunities while blocking your opponent’s best plays. It feels familiar, yet completely new—a blend of cribbage, strategy, and puzzle-solving. How It Works • Each turn, you place a card from your hand onto an empty space • The board fills into 25 cards total, forming cribbage hands in all rows and columns • One player controls scoring for all horizontal hands, the other for all vertical hands • If a player is the dealer for the round, they also score the shaded diagonal crib hand • Standard cribbage scoring applies: 15s, pairs, runs, and flushes • When the board is full, all hands are scored What Makes It Unique • Strategic card placement – every move affects multiple hands • Think ahead on offense and defense • A blend of cribbage, spatial strategy, and light puzzle play • Quick to learn, endlessly replayable Game Modes • Play Online – Invite a friend or play someone new • Local Pass & Play – Share a device with someone nearby • Single Player – Challenge the computer with multiple difficulty levels Features • Beautiful wood-themed board and classic playing cards • Smart scoring visuals and hand breakdowns • Interactive tutorial to learn how to play • Works great on phones and tablets Win Conditions The game ends when a player reaches 121 points—or if both exceed 121 in the same round, the higher score wins. Cross Cribbage is easy to learn if you already know cribbage, and a fun way to discover cribbage if you’ve never played before. Perfect for fans of cribbage, card strategy games, puzzles, or cerebral two-player challenges. Download now and play cribbage like you’ve never played it before!
