Our take on Cribbish
The store copy foregrounds escalating scores and a large number of items, but the central activity remains repeated hand construction under Cribbage-inspired rules. That makes the game’s appeal depend less on broad adventure structure and more on how much variation players find in its card, relic, potion, and perk combinations.
What is Cribbish?
Cribbish combines Cribbage-inspired hand scoring with roguelike deckbuilding.
Each run involves choosing cards for the crib, modifying the deck, and assembling combinations with relics, potions, perks, and other upgrades. Runs include brutal and elite challenges leading toward a final Elite Challenge. The game offers 20+ decks, 4 difficulty levels, 14 card enhancements, 100+ relics, 25+ potions, and 35+ perks. Endless Mode and Speed Run Mode provide alternate structures, while per-run tracking records performance. Lifetime level statistics track progress and unlock special items. The store description presents each hand as a separate puzzle, with item interactions changing scoring possibilities during a run.
