Deckhand Games
Play the crew or a friend
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Deckhand Games is a home for classic card games with a pirate twist. The first game aboard is Pirate Cribbage.
PLAY THE CREW
Take on three computer opponents: Swabbie Sal for a gentle game, Bosun Barnaby for a fair fight, and Cap'n Bot when you want a real challenge. Guest games need no account and work with no connection.
PLAY FRIENDS ONLINE
Quick match, ranked play with tiers, or send a friend an invite link. Add your crew, see who's online, trade emotes and call for a rematch.
PIRATE RULES
Classic cribbage when you want it, or switch on Pirate Rules: buried treasure, the Kraken, and six sneaky powers such as Pickpocket, Spyglass and Crow's Nest. Play them free once a game, or Plunder mode where each costs points.
LEARN WITH PEGGY
New to cribbage? Peggy the parrot walks you through your first game, from the cut to counting the crib, and squawks the score as you peg.
SHARPEN YOUR GAME
- A new Daily Discard puzzle every day: pick your two cards, then see how your throw ranks.
- The Ship's Log keeps detailed stats: win rates, pegging, hand and crib averages, and head-to-head records.
- Achievements to earn and ranks to climb.
Hand-painted cards, board and table, and a carved cribbage board where the pegs hop as you score.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Ahoy! The first update since launch.
- Cap'n Bot is now Cap'n Crowe, the same captain who counts every card.
- New card, shuffle, peg and coin sounds, and a new Pirate Cribbage card back.
- Pirate scenes wait for you: tap Carry on when you're ready. Online, play goes on once you've both tapped.
- Doubloons: with a free account, earn pirate coins for wins, the daily discard and achievements. They can't be bought.
- Swiping back after leaving a game no longer deals it again. Resume keeps your hand just as you left it.
- Help & support now sits on the harbour screen, and on iPad and wide screens your name plate stays clear of your hand.
