Real rules
Every hand runs on the actual cribbage rulebook — fifteens, runs, pairs, nobs, the crib, the whole board to 121. Nothing simplified, nothing invented to make a highlight reel.
Arcade Cribbage
Real cribbage.
Live commentary.
Provably fair.
Two AI announcers call every hand the moment it happens — and can prove, mathematically, that they never touched a card to make it exciting.
On air — sample call
Play-by-play: "Six of clubs — that's fifteen for two, and the count resets."
Color: "And that's the safe lead we talked about — she's daring him into a pair he doesn't have."
Full audio drops with the first playable build — this is a scripted preview of the booth's voice, not a synthesized clip.
Live commentary
A play-by-play voice and a color commentator call your match as it unfolds — explaining the score, reading the board, and teaching without ever making a beginner feel small.
Provable fairness
The shuffle is committed before the deal and verifiable after it. The booth can see only what a fair announcer should see. Every match ends with a receipt you can check yourself.

You've played this your whole life.
You've counted a thousand hands at a thousand kitchen tables. Pegboard keeps the real game and gives it a second voice — one that celebrates the hand you just laid down as much as you do.
I already play cribbage →For everyone who's never picked up a peg
Never played? You'll be counting by your third hand.
No manual, no muttering under your breath while someone counts your hand for you. The booth explains every score in real time — you just play the card.
