Cribbage Board Template
Built by Johnny Alto · free, no sign-up · updated July 26, 2026
Print a paper cribbage board when you have the cards but not the board. Choose two or three players and it draws a to-scale 121-hole track for each, with holes grouped in fives and a start and finish, ready to peg with pins, coins, or a pencil tick.
Print at 100%. Each player has a 121-hole track: peg from Start, up to 120 and into the game hole (121). Holes are grouped in fives, the way a real board is, so you can move a peg by a count at a glance.
Using a paper cribbage board
Cribbage is scored by pegging: you move a marker along a track as you count points, and the first player to 121 wins. A physical board has holes drilled in it, but the game works just as well on paper if the track is laid out clearly. This template draws a 121-hole track for each player, from a Start hole up to 120 and then the final game hole at 121.
The holes are grouped in fives, exactly like a real board, because cribbage scores come in small counts and grouping by five lets you move a peg the right distance at a glance. Instead of pegs you can use two small coins, map pins, or just a pencil tick that you move each turn, keeping your previous mark so you can prove the count.
Printing it
Choose two or three players and print at 100 percent. Each player gets their own labeled track. If you play with real pegs, print it on card stock or slip it into a sleeve so the holes hold up; otherwise plain paper and a pencil is all you need to finish a game.
Frequently asked questions
How many holes are on a cribbage board?
A standard board has 121 points of travel per player: a Start, 120 numbered holes, and a final game hole. Many boards show two lanes of 60 out and back, but the count to win is the same 121.
What can I use as pegs on a paper board?
Small coins, map pins, or a moved pencil tick all work. Keep your previous mark visible so the count can be checked, which is the point of the two-peg system on a real board.
How many players does it support?
Two or three tracks. For four-player partnership cribbage, the two teams each peg one track, so the two-player board works.
How do I print it to size?
Print at 100 percent with fit-to-page off. Card stock or a sleeve helps if you are using real pegs.
