About this game

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 sub-optimal 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.

Ratings and reviews

Nice app for teaching you to play & score. I like that the discard analyser is available in game, & the way it's presented - showing the analysis for each card, along with the %s & possible combinations. The optimal discard is not always what gains you most points (i think you say that?); but based on a randomly turned card & not knowing the pone's cards you can't predict that. It'd be nice to see whether one's choice beat the odds in the post game round up, where suboptimal play is shown.

I've been playing this for years. No lag or performance issues. I like the analysis and options that can be enabled. The only minor complaints I have: - If you leave a game unfinished and return later (more than a couple hours), then it doesn't store your progress. - Selecting easy, standard, or pro doesn't appear to change the difficulty level. I win about 75% of the time no matter which level I choose.

Although this is the best Crib app I've found so far, something's recently changed. And now I'm getting frustrated by it. The deal is now hugely stacked in favour of your opponent about 80% of the time, and the turn ups are usually perfect for their hand. Luckily, it doesn't play very well (come on, who leads with a 5 unless you've got another in your hand.?!?) so I'm able to win most of the time by pegging well.. But it's no longer as random as it used to be - and that just defeats the object.
