How to Use a Digital Cribbage Board Correctly
Just like an authentic wood tabletop board, CribbagePlay tracks two pegs per player on every turn. When you tap a quick-add button (such as +2 for Fifteen, +4, +6, or +12), your rear peg leaps ahead to your new total while your previous peg stays behind as a tamper-proof visual reference of your prior hole.
Understanding Skunk Lines (60 & 90 Holes)
The dashed gold markers across the track mark Cribbage's traditional victory margins in a 121-point game:
- Skunk Line (Hole 90 / 91st hole): If the winning player crosses hole 121 while an opponent has 90 points or fewer, the match counts as a Skunk (2 games won in match play).
- Double-Skunk Line (Hole 60 / 61st hole): If an opponent finishes with 60 points or fewer, it is a Double Skunk (worth 4 games in many clubs, or 3–4 points depending on house rules).
- Why does a standard board have 120 holes + Finish? A classic Cribbage board drills 4 streets of 30 holes (120 holes) plus 1 winning game hole at the top or end—meaning reaching hole 121 ends the match immediately!
