Double Skunk key art — a Victorian parlor of animal gamblers gathered around a cribbage board.

It's the cribbage you know. The house rules are new.

Real cribbage, real hands

Pegging, the show, his heels, the lot. If you know the game, you're already home.

40+ powerups, stacked your way

Build a scoring engine that bends every hand in your favor.

A campaign with character

Fight your way across the circuit's tables and the Keepers who run them.

In motion

The hook

Three ways to bend the deck.

Standard cribbage scoring, then a roguelite layer stacked on top of it.

PowerUps

Passive perks you slot into your loadout. They permanently bend the scoring rules in your favor and fire automatically, every hand.

Crimson Tide — +1 point per red card in the show.
Black Tie — ×1.5 to your show when it has no red cards.

40+ to find, drop, and buy

Pegs

Two run-defining picks before each campaign. Each rewrites a rule or a starting condition, not just a score.

Honest — start seven holes up the board.
Eager — +2 peg movement on every Go.
Spy — see the opponent's crib before the cut.

Picked two at a time

Consumables

One-shot A–K cards you stash and play into the pegging count. Each plays at its rank's value, plus a kicker, then it's spent.

Five — play as 5, advance your peg 5.
Queen — play as 10, cancel their next scoring event.

Two slots, expandable
