Most cribbage apps share three problems: ads that interrupt gameplay, AI that feels rigged, and interfaces that look like 2014. Cribbage Board fixes all three.
NO ADS DURING PLAY
Banner ads never appear while you're playing. Interstitials run only between games. A one-time $4.99 upgrade removes them entirely.
PROVABLY FAIR SHUFFLE
Every deck uses cryptographic randomness sourced directly from your device's hardware. The AI has no knowledge of undealt cards and no ability to influence the shuffle. The harder levels win more often because the math is sound, not because they cheat. Full disclosure is in the About screen.
FOUR REAL DIFFICULTY LEVELS
Easy plays like a casual opponent. Medium plays a solid, crib-aware game. Hard calculates the best discard across all possible outcomes. Expert is unforgiving and reads the game several moves deep. Four settings that actually play differently.
THREE RULE VARIANTS
Classic: standard 6-card cribbage to 121.
Muggins: claim your points within 10 seconds or your opponent steals them.
Shotgun: 4 cards each, no crib, fast game from the skunk line.
DISCARD ANALYZER
After each hand, see the expected-value ranking of all 15 possible discard choices, the same calculation the top difficulties use. Free users unlock it with a rewarded video. Premium users get it always-on.
SEVEN THEMES
Classic green and Daylight, both free. Plus Walnut, Modern, Sepia, Tournament, and Cedar. Five premium themes that unlock with the one-time upgrade.
