<h2 class="bb_tag" >A cribbage roguelite deckbuilder. One peg, one board, one tournament tour at a time.</h2><br>You're a traveling cribbage player working your way up the Long Tally, a tour that starts at regional clubs and ends at the national championship. Every match is a real cribbage match. Deal six. Drop two to the crib. Peg the round. Count the four cards in your hand against the cut.<br><br>Between matches, you build the player who shows up to the next one. Between tours, you build the player who walks back into the next tour.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Three ways to play</h2><br><ul class="bb_ul"><li><strong>Campaign</strong>: the full Long Tally tour, with persistent unlocks, peg selection, and the campaign-layer build that carries between runs.<br></li><li><strong>vs AI</strong>: one-off matches against AI opponents at three skill tiers and three personalities. No campaign, no progression. Just cribbage.<br></li><li><strong>Online Multiplayer</strong>: head-to-head cribbage against another human, outside the campaign. Matchmaking and direct lobbies.</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >The run and the campaign</h2><br>A run is one tournament tour from a regional club through nationals, with different opponents in every zone. Within a run, you build a temporary loadout: powerups that change how your hands score, consumables you spend between matches, crayons that mark specific cards for the duration of a single tour. When the run ends, the build resets.<br><br>The campaign sits above the runs. Across many tours, you earn permanent markers on specific cards, unlock different pegs to play as, and climb a tree of milestones that persists win or lose. The run's build is loud. The campaign's build is patient.<h2 class="bb_tag" >How the count builds</h2><br>Cribbage already stacks small scores into bigger ones. The four cards you keep plus the cut combine into fifteens, pairs, runs, and flushes. A run of three with two fifteens is eight points. A run of four in a flushed hand can clear twenty before any modifiers fire.<br><br>The roguelite layer takes the count past where a kitchen-table game would stop. A powerup that triggers on every fifteen pushes a fifteens-heavy hand into the thirties and forties. A crayon on your favorite card doubles whatever it touches. Two or three good builds in a run and the counts grow into territory regular cribbage doesn't reach.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Powerups, consumables, and marks</h2><br>Three systems shape your build.<br><br><ul class="bb_ul"><li><strong>Powerups</strong>: modifiers that fire on specific scoring events. Some trigger on fifteens. Some trigger on pairs. Some trigger on the run-ending Go. Stack them and the synergies stack with them.<br></li><li><strong>Consumables</strong>: one-use items you spend during a match for a specific effect. One use, one decision.<br></li><li><strong>Marks</strong>: enhancements applied to specific cards. Crayons last for one tour. Markers carry across the entire campaign. A doubled Five. A penalized Jack. A card that scores twice when it shows up.</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >Cribbage, if you've never played</h2><br>Cribbage is a 350-year-old card game played to 121 points. Two players take six cards, drop two each into a side pile called the crib, then take turns laying cards down to a running count that resets at 31. The pegging round is a tactical poke and parry. Then both players reveal their four-card hands and count the score against a randomly cut fifth card: every fifteen, every pair, every run, every flush, every nob.<br><br>We kept all the rules. The roguelite layer is the wrapper, not the replacement. If you have played cribbage at a kitchen table, the math is the same from minute one.<h2 class="bb_tag" >What's in the box</h2><br><ul class="bb_ul"><li>Three game modes: Campaign, vs AI, and Online Multiplayer.<br></li><li>A campaign of tournament tours from regional clubs through the national championship.<br></li><li>Different opponents in every zone, each with their own personality and skill tier.<br></li><li>Multiple pegs to play as, each with their own play personality.<br></li><li>A growing roster of powerups, consumables, crayons, and campaign markers.</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >Early Access</h2><br>Double Skunk is launching in Early Access while the campaign content and balance fill in. The core systems are stable: the scoring engine, the pegging round, the powerups, the marks, the campaign layer, all three game modes. The content is still growing: more opponents per zone, more rings on the campaign tree, more tuning passes against real player runs.<br><br>We're aiming for a content update every six to eight weeks during Early Access, and a 1.0 release once the full ring of opponents is in and the tuning has had time to settle against the EA cohort's runs.<br><br>If that sounds like a game you want to help shape, wishlist now and the page will notify you the day the demo lands.
