Everything below is free. Cribbage+ adds more of it.
Card values, suits, the cut, dealer and pone, and the board, then the rules that trip up new players.
Fifteens, pairs, runs, flushes, nobs, and the order that turns a hand into points.
See five cards and call the patterns that matter before the count starts.
Work six-card deals, compare your discard with the coach's pick, and see the crib tradeoff.
Find fifteens, pairs, runs, go, 31, last card, and safe totals while the board moves.
Swipeable cards that explain the rule instead of just testing it.
An additional practice set in all four rooms, with fresh questions, hands, deals, and calls added through the year.
Advanced discard strategy, pegging defense, endgame decisions, and expert counting drills.
Streaks, missed-item review, and per-room progress keep the useful skills warm.
Cribbage Trainer keeps practice progress and preferences on your iPhone. There is no sign-up, no ads, and nothing sold. Reminders are scheduled locally on your device. Apple processes purchases, and RevenueCat receives only the identifiers needed to unlock and restore Cribbage+.
Privacy Policy →How it's built.
Most players learn cribbage at a table, then have no way to practice until the next deal. Counting slows down, discards become guesses, and pegging decisions disappear as soon as the board gets busy.
Cribbage Trainer is practice without a table: quick, interactive reps you can run anywhere. Learn the deck, count the hand, choose two for the crib, and peg to 31 without giving points away.
All four rooms are free. Cribbage+ adds more: monthly or yearly (both with a 1-week free trial), or a one-time purchase for lifetime access. Prices are shown in the app before you buy and vary by region.
Extra practice sets. A second set of questions, hands, deals, and calls in every room, using drills you already know.
The Master Tables. Advanced discard strategy, pegging defense, endgame decisions, and expert counting for players moving past the basics.

One rule at a time. Drills isolate values, scoring patterns, crib choices, pegging, and board position.
Original teaching deals. Every hand, deal, and question is written for teaching, not copied from a published game.
Short sessions. Sessions are short enough for a grocery line, because that's when people actually practice.
What's free. The four rooms are complete without paying. Cribbage+ adds volume and advanced material; the fundamentals are never locked.
Yes. Cribbage Trainer is a free iPhone and iPad app that drills counting the hand, choosing the discard and pegging to 31 in five-minute sessions. Each answer comes with the coach's reasoning.
No. It is a practice app, not a table. There are no opponents or bots, so you work on your counting, discards and pegging without playing a whole game.
Practice reading five cards for fifteens, pairs, runs, flushes and nobs until the pattern jumps out. The Scoring Room and Hand reading drills in Cribbage Trainer do exactly that and explain every score.
Keep the best scoring potential for your own hand, then weigh what the two cards you throw give the crib, which depends on whether it is yours or your opponent's. The Discard Room lets you work six-card deals and compare your choice with the coach's pick and the crib tradeoff.
Yes. The Pegging Room covers fifteens, pairs, runs, go, 31, last card and safe totals while the board total stays in view.
The download is free, with four practice rooms, flashcards and streaks included, and there is no account or sign-up. An optional Cribbage+ upgrade adds extra practice sets and the Master Tables, and prices are shown in the app before you buy.
Yes. Every drill works with no network connection, and your progress stays on your device.
Cribbage Trainer is an independent cribbage practice app. House rules vary, so use the rules agreed at your table.
Free on the App Store. Four practice rooms, no account. Cribbage+ optional.
