A live cribbage scoreboard for your stream
Cribbage has the best physical scoreboard in card games, and it is invisible to a camera. The overlay puts the board on the stream: both totals, whose crib it is, the target, and a skunk called at the end, all driven by the peg buttons on the scorer's phone.
Paste this into OBS to test it now
A working cribbage overlay with sample players, so you can size and position the source before your first game. When you start a real match, swap this for that match's overlay URL from the launch screen.
Width 1920, height 1080. Untick "Shutdown source when not visible".
What the cribbage scorebug shows
- Both players or partnerships with their totals toward 121, or 61 in the short game
- A header naming whose crib it is and the target, for example "CRIB: CASEY · TO 121"
- Every peg on screen within about a second of the tap, so pegging during the play shows up as it happens
- The game ending the instant a side reaches the last hole, with SKUNK or DOUBLE SKUNK added to the header when it applies
- An optional two-name score bug, switched on in the overlay designer
Widgets for this sport: Standings · Score bug (two sides). Each can be moved, scaled or hidden in the overlay designer.
Browser source dimensions
| Size | When to use it |
|---|---|
| 1920 x 1080 | Full canvas. Use this unless you have a reason not to: widget positions in the designer are pixel-for-pixel what the stream shows. |
| 1280 x 720 | 720p streams. The whole stage scales down, so nothing moves relative to the picture. |
| 820 x 140 | Score bug only. Crop the browser source to the top-left bug if you want the score and nothing else. |
| 820 x 220 | Score bug with the row under it (games won, serve dots, clock or outs, depending on the sport). |
| 1080 x 1920 | Vertical streams for phone-first platforms. Scale the bug up in the designer first. |

Cribbage overlay FAQ
Is there a cribbage scoreboard for streaming?
Yes. Score the game with the peg buttons in Score All and add the overlay URL to OBS as a Browser source at 1920 x 1080. Viewers see both totals and whose crib it is.
Do viewers see every peg or only the hand totals?
Every peg. Each button tap on the console updates the score, so fifteen-twos during the play appear on the stream as they are pegged.
Does the overlay call skunks?
Yes, when skunks are switched on for the game. Once someone pegs out, the header adds SKUNK or DOUBLE SKUNK if the loser finished short of the line.
