About

Grandad's Crib is a proper game of two-player crib: a walnut board, brass pegs and a good deck of cards. Six cards each, a hand for the crib, and first to 121 wins.

PLAY • Play the computer at Easy, Medium or Grandad, who takes some beating • Pass & Play with somebody else on one device, the screen covered between turns • Pick up where you left off; your game is saved as you go

COUNTING • Every hand counted out the traditional way: "fifteen two, fifteen four, and a pair is six" • Count your own hands if you would rather, with muggins on or off • Hear it counted aloud in a British voice • A running tally of fifteens, pairs, runs, flushes and his nobs

THE BOARD AND THE TABLE • A U-shaped board in walnut or oak, with a brass plaque at the home end • Seven painted tables: green baize, a fairway at golden hour, a misty riverbank, an oak table, a concert hall, navy leather and a city crossing • Or lay the cards on a photo of your own • Pegs that hop, a board you can open and zoom into, and the whole game read out for VoiceOver

HOW IT PLAYS • The British game, in plain British words: the box, the show, muggins, skunks and lurches • House rules you can set: count your own hands, muggins, triple skunk, tens tie on the cut, and who deals first next game • How to Play covers the deal, the play, the show and every way to score • Your record kept on the device: games, hands, best counts and how you fare against each opponent

QUIET BY DESIGN • No adverts, no accounts, no sign-in, no notifications • Nothing is collected and nothing leaves your device • Plays entirely offline • iPhone and iPad, portrait or landscape, with VoiceOver and Reduce Motion supported throughout

Made in loving memory of all grandads, and every game of crib we played with him. Look closely and you will find a few of his favourite things tucked into the cards.
