What are /r/Cribbage's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I’ll try to dig up a photo of the first version that she made for a climbing trip to Peru four years ago. It was a piece of cloth, permanent marker and a bunch of safety pins. We kept bring it places and fellow cribbage players kept comment on it, so she decided to make it a real thing!

If you want one for your next trip, you can find it on Amazon: Campfire Cribbage.

Happy pegging!

Cribbage Pro for Android or iOS. It's cross-platform, too.

You will need to use an ssh client to access the server. PuTTY is a popular choice on Windows.

Once you've connected, if no one else is waiting to play you will need to wait for an opponent to connect. Once they do, use the numbers 1-6 on your keyboard to select cards.

When the game is waiting for you to acknowledge something ("Go", "Opponent scored # points", etc.) press Space to continue.

I got a good deal of info out of Cribbage for Experts, by Dan Barlow. It was only $9.99 when I bought it though; not sure what’s up with Amazon right now.

The game is called Cribbage With Grandpas :D

You can find it here for iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cribbage-with-grandpas/id1131745606?mt=8

And here for Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lessthanthree.crib&hl=en

This book lists out the average pegging hands for every 4-card hand, for both dealer and non-dealer

You have to work the leather. To get it to lay flat consistently. This version uses 12 awg wire (4.0 mm^2) for pegs. I’m an electrician, I like the copper wire pegs.

They make a version with actual pegs.

Killler Cribbage is a very good book and I highly recommend it, but it is actually two of the author's previous two smaller books combined into one larger volume. The missing pages are also pages 28 to 60 of this book, if you are able to track down a cheap copy. For what it's worth, the second book included is entitled, "Winning cribbage tips".

Big fan of Art of Play. They usually have an incredible inventory of playing & cardistry cards. Also if you travel or like to bring a cribbage board with you to a variety of locations I’ve been really happy with the waterproof Hoyle cards

Any linen cards (bicycle style) are going to last and feel great. Fangamer makes great ones if you want video game themed ones:

I got one of their Legend of Zelda themed decks and I love it.

Alternately, if you love playing in dimly-lit places where people spill a lot, highly textured all l-plastic cards that are reflective are the best:

Lots of places sell these cards with different things on the back. I love them because you couldn't even see them by firelight really easily.

I’m thinking about these:

Copag 1546 Design 100% Plastic Playing Cards, Poker Size Jumbo Index Red/Blue Double Deck Set https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000SA5BJ2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_QZDZ3SB009Y5K1C60ZGE

Now you need some good plastic cards. Copag and Da Vinci are the best IMO. Stay away from KEM; they are beautiful but they warp very easily. My personal favorites are the bridge size Copags, the 1546 design in black and gold is a classic that goes well with anything (but I may be a biased Saints fanatic). Once you go plastic, you never go back!

Yeah, a friend and I used to compute the scores from Dollar bill serial numbers. With 10 digits, it's a bit harder, so I ended up making an Android app for that a while back. It has about three users, but I like it.

Yep! here you go

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00UBXVJ4C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I live in the UK now, but i also got a set from amazon in the US. Just search pixel cards and you should find them

It's by House of Cribbage. They're not selling your design on their website at the moment, but Amazon does still have yours (albeit only different materials still in stock) here.

An app is at great idea, everyone has a smart phone and no need to shop around and buy something else to pack. This app works great

So the picture here is wrong, but if you read the comments, they confirm that this is the plastic version that folds in half.

Just picked it up recently and it's great! Mine didn't come with a deck of cards though, so beware!

I have this one . It doesn’t have the cards built in but I just keep the cards and pegs in a ziploc bag and carry them with it. It’s great for the price. We just stick them in the glove compartment of the car.

Edit: we don’t use the cards it comes with though. They suck

Another possible option for you is to use the Cribbage Classic app for Android and iOS.

The app includes a very nice tutorial and also can be set up to provide hints and warnings of suboptimal plays (which you can elect to use or ignore). It's a pretty nice way to learn the game until you find other folks to play the game with.

Not sure about any software, but the Cribbage Classic app seems like it does what you're looking for. The app keeps statistics that show "...your average pegging score, your average hand score, and your average crib score. Also shows you a summary of all of the sub-optimal plays you made at the end of the game and tracks your error rate over time so you can see yourself improving. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gamesbypost.cribbageclassic&hl=en

It also has a "Discard Analyzer" feature that can "help you decide on the optimal discard to play given a particular cribbage hand. Analyzer shows you the minimum, maximum, and average score for each permutation along with an in-depth statistical analysis of all possible flip card results."

I myself prefer Cribbage Pro, despite the 'expert' AI being unbelievably tough to beat at times.

I've wrote an Android app out there called Dollar Cribbage. It will compute the cribbage score of a dollar bill serial number. Trying to figure out the score of that many cards does get hard after a while.

We pull it out every so often when you see a dollar bill filled with 6, 7, and 8. I've had a score in the low 100's, and I think the theoretical max is just over 200. It's been a while since I really ran the numbers.

It's a fun game to play around with.
