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

Love the app, but it absolutely freaks out on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 - it constantly flips back and forth between portrait and landscape view, so quickly that you can't push any buttons to stop it. You have to lock the screen and then go into something like settings so that you can close the software. Oddly enough, if I open up Samsung Dex first, I can get it to run. This issue doesn't happen on my Galaxy S20 phone. Hope it gets fixed on the tablet!

Played the app for a couple of years now and just starting to get sick of it. Playing on Pro difficulty is ridiculous. I've played multiple games using both my own strategies, and only using the preferred cards from the discard analyzer. No matter how you play on the hardest difficulty, the computer just gets better cards. You have a good hand, they have a great one. They have a bad hand, but 16 points in their crib. But turn the difficulty down and it's not even a challenge to play.

The game is basically very well done. The opponent seems to have just the right card a bit too often and manages to score more flushes than any live player I have ever played, as well as the annoying quality of topping almost all runs in play with one of their own. I often decline to score a run for this reason. Other than things like that, my only other thought is that you never both choose the same card at the start. No big deal there. Fun game.
