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

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.

I am juat learning how to play cribbage and this is a great way to practice. I like that it counts for you, and it will replay the count so you can see everything. At the end of the game it also shows you optimal plays --- you played this, but if you had played that you would have earned more points. I think this is a pretty neat practice tool. No ads either, even better

The good: I've never had a technical issue with the app. And only a single slim banner ad barely noticeable at the bottom. The bad: Pro difficulty level just means the app gets unbeatable hands. I'll play what the app considers a statistically perfect game, and lose by 25 or 30 points. It routinely gets hands you're lucky to see once every 10 or 12 games. The cheating is so bad, often you can predict its hands based on the card turned up and the 1st card played. Really kills the fun factor.
