Improve your skills and become a cribbage expert! Cribbage classic has a number of settings that can help you to learn the best move for your situation and offer assistance if it notices that you are making a sub-optimal play. Or just play in fast mode where all counting is done for you and you get to simply focus on discarding and pegging. By tweaking the settings you can take this app anywhere from a lazy-thoughtless-time-waster game to a skill-sharpening-master-tutorial helping you to crush your next opponent. Statistics are also kept so you can see your average pegging score, your average hand score, and your average crib score! Also shows you a summary of all of the suboptimal plays you made at the end of the game and tracks your error rate over time so you can see yourself improving.
Cribbage Classic also has a "Discard Analyzer" bonus feature that can help you decide on the optimal discard to play given a particular cribbage hand. Analyzer shows you the minimum, maximum and average score for each permutation along with an in depth statistical analysis of all possible flip card results.
Cheated The app is great. I love how you can recount the scores to see how you got the score, and how it gives hints at the end to better your game.
That being said, I feel like the game cheats. There must be an algorithm that says, “it’s time for the player to lose” because the ai gets incredible scores. I could get a great hand of 16 points and the computer gets a hand of 24 and a crib of 18. That wouldn’t be so bad if it didn’t happen constantly, too often to be a coincidence.
If you want to learn the game, this is a great app. If you want to enjoy the game, look somewhere else.
Great for learning I am new to cribbage, and this app is great! I like being able to replay the scoring, so that I don’t rely solely on the app for that—I feel like I am learning how to play with a board and opponent when I get to that point. A computer takes a second to score, a new player needs to look at it more closely.
