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 really love cribbage, I have since I was around 8 years old. However, the cards dealt out are anything but random. It's completely normal to get a really good hand, but with real cards, the really good hands are rare. In this, I basically always get a hand with a couple fives, a couple tens, and maybe an ace. Each game is statistically impossible and would never happen with real cards. The winner is decided in the first couple turns- whoever is in the lead will win the game.

Unbearably artificial and not random. In pro mode there is almost always an artificial evening up at around 80 to 90 points and again in the last couple of hands. I have played this game for probably 10 years now and it gets more and more manufactured all the time. it is not realistic to get so many double runs and high point hands in a row (8,12,16,16) The obvious weighting has become unbearable. I am uninstalling it.

I've been playing real cribbage for years, and this game comes the closest to a live experience. Just don't use the "Pro" setting, which is stupid. You'll lose every time. The standard setting provides more realistic hands, where muggins and the choice of discards can actually influence the outcome. I like the pace at which this game plays.
