Cribbage roguelite Double Skunk launches in Early Access on Steam

Double Skunk, a cribbage roguelite from Kerrberry Games, is out today in Early Access on Steam for $9.99 USD, on Windows, macOS and Linux. It is real cribbage played by the book, with powerups, one-shot cards and a climb past 21 rivals.

Powerups change what the count pays. There are 57 of them, and when one pays off big, its animal walks onto the table and acts it out. Fifteen Bell's fox, for one, rings a brass bell. The 26 consumables are one-shot cards that break the rules once, and Skip and Skat, the skunk duo, climb onto the table to play them. Pegs bring a rule to the whole run, and the Pedlar runs the shop.

The campaign is called the Long Tally, a climb past 21 painted, voiced rivals. Higher rungs bring house rules such as a chess clock and muggins, where points a player misses in their own count go to the rival. Losing never ends the climb, since players can hold their spot or slide back a rung. Past the summit is the Beyond, where every match is a game of duplicate cribbage and a heat meter climbs as the match goes on.

Each week the game sets a challenge that everyone plays on the same deal as duplicate cribbage, with fixed builds and an Expert rival. A leaderboard ranks each player's margin over the rival, and five house scores give every board a par. Players can practice any of the ten challenges at any time. Online, players can invite a friend through Steam or use Quick Match, with a ranked season leaderboard and a way back into a match after a crash. Offline, the AI plays from Easy to Expert under house rules the player sets.

New players learn cribbage from the Coach in a two-hand warm-up. Every match ends with a hand-by-hand review against the book, and a big win slams DOUBLE SKUNKED across the rival's portrait. The game is available in six languages with full voice acting, and a free demo is on Steam now.
