Community Insight:
The computer portion of this game lien start the computer we played four times and they got 17 each time at least once we couldnt get above 8 barely.
Terrible. Doesnt count accurately.
Entered the code from a friend and it crashed They did the same thing and it crashed Im gonna try some other version of Cribbage.
Tried to play with a friend and couldnt peg the points.
Love this game. Works well! Its like were actually playing in the same room. Can you make it so more than 2 people can play a game.
Nice to play with a friend but difficult to score rounds separately. Why can your opponent peg extra points that are incorrect and then keep them when the round continues.
Just started to use this game which we like. Is there a way to store a game that we havent finished but have to leave for a bit.
Straightforward and simple while being entertaining! Us and our sister can play together now even when were not together! Thank you.
This app is very clunky. Not sure the developer has played crib more than once or twice. Texting portion looks like a first grader designed it. Not worth the 1.99 upgrade or the free app.
The app is a great way to connect with friends, but there are too many times where neither player can play, we cant go back to a game already started and exited out of, and have to click on the board to make the next play happen. Needs a lot of improvements.
Easy to use and love playing our friend over the internet.
Great way to learn how to play as the play is as slow or fast as you wish. We liked how to score the play ourselves.
We cant play with 3 people at a time and that is weird. Its kinda upsetting :( The game also doesnt always let us throw our cards into the crib, causing us and our friend to have to completely restart our game :( this has happened 4 times already today :(.
Games keep freezing and cant finish a game.
This app is great. Its the only cribbage app where you actually get to play as if in person. Its easy to set games with friends, no ads, and no extra fluff – just good cribbage. No crashes so far either! Definitely recommend.
The app crashes frequently when getting into higher scores and double go s when the opponent has no cards left to play. The opponent doesnt have a move and cannot proceed.
Colin well done on this app! Super fun to play with our friends (long-distance and when Im stuck inside sick) and its very intuitive and easy to pick up (the interface and everything). Ill definitely be recommending this app to anyone who wants to play/learn/practice their skills. Thanks for the hard work.
Prior design heavily weighted in favor of AI, now more equal.
Very happy with this game. Works every time. Follows the rules. Clean & responsive.
Its fairly easy to figure out the outcome of the game. It is a very good game as far as playing with people from other areas real people we think now that AI prevalent who knows we really dont like the fact they force you to get updates that may not interest us we paid to get the game add free we dont believe we should have to update when it doesnt really apply to us the games good overall it just upsets us quite often too many oddball hands that you rarely see in real life with the person sitting there in a deck of cards.
We have been playing long enough to notice some interesting flaws. We suspect that there are players with special privileges within the app. We had a game where the other player forced a draw even though we were winning. When you draw for first crib you never have the same card drawn. How is that programmed? What about playing multiple games with someone? It should alternate who gets the first crib so the advantage is shared back and forth, but it doesnt. Are games with friends ranked? They shouldnt be, otherwise you can have ranking manipulation. Why was the ranking system changed? We see so many high ranking players get first crib, win and leave. You should be able to commit to a 3 game series to balance skill with luck.
We play on the hardest level /muggins and have noticed that the bot lately gets great hands as compared to ours. Its to the point that we are not going to play anymore. It consistently has 10 +. Not enjoyable anymore.
Played with a friend and its really fun and works well.
This is our second review. Play with wife every night. Pro muggins is our favorite. When playing pickup games the timer is way, way, way to fast! An option to modify the time would be great. Thanx.
Im 14 years old and LOVE to play cribbage but what if your on vacation somewhere and cant bring you cribbage board. Well, thanks to Cribbage With Your Friends this solves the problem. This is played just like cribbage and its Wi-Fi free. But you need WiFi to play multiplayer obviously. This app is great and there are many ways to play cribbage. So, download the game and become a pro and beat your friends. Free of charge.
App does not reflect winnings. We won five games in a row and our rank never changed. Its a pretty good set up, however.
Always play against a live opponent, play the AI if you like watching someone always having the correct card and high scores, As a AI this game wins more than any other cribbage game we have ever played. We have also noticed that whoever wins the initial cut will win the first game. As an online game it is excellent, as an AI game it is more frustrating. If we could be as lucky getting the right cards at the right time as this game we would live in Vegas. However, do not skunk the game or you will lose almost every game until it skunks you in AI play. We have had this happen multiple times over the past few months with too much consistency. We have updated the Rate because overall it is one of the better games, it just does not like to lose.
Game can be fun sometimes, incredibly frustrating other times. Sensitivity to touch is sometimes an issue. You can get banned if you time out, even though its the apps fault, not yours. Frustrating. Also, playing the computer produces ridiculous hands, on a regular basis. Which are almost never replicated in a human game.
Having played several other apps which constantly showed ads. This was a pleasant surprise to fast game play. Now we have not upgraded it so ads might be just around the corner but so far this AP is great.
Muggins is forced if you play pro? Weird. Also too easy to make mistakes because its timed and the buttons are easy to mess up. We love cribbage and hoped to play long distance with folks but prob not on this.
We play the bot a lot since players are often not on line. No ability to block players and ranking doesnt make sense.
There are never any glitches we love this game we could play it for hours. We even win against the AI bot sometimes, sometimes a lot of the times. But when Im playing against others we would really like slightly more time to count our hand and especially our crib. Even a couple more seconds would help.we find a rush our account and end up giving away too many muggins. Other than that the graphics the colors the quality the fun factor its all really awesome, thank you.
Still loving itone more thing. Im playing a lot with our AI opp, Bot Head. Having fun, but when a penalty flashes on the screen for a nanosecond, its way too fast to read let alone learn from. Thoughts.
Any problems are noted and fixed making this our daily go to for competitive games and relaxation.
While we prefer a different game for solo play against the bot, this game for playing with our boyfriend is one of the core parts of our joint recreation. We talk on the phone through our play unless we're together and just don't want to get the cards and board out. Having the same amount of control over the cards and scoring as we'd have playing analog makes it interactive. We love it! (The bug currently is that no matter what color deck we choose, the cards are always black. Doesn't affect play. Started a week or two ago. Minor, but thought you'd want to know.).
We like the game but playing against the AI Bot is unfair and the deal certainly isnt random. It consistently has an excellent hand, the card up always benefits it, and it most often wins. Its no fun to loose against it most of the time. Not fair at all.
Great game to play with anyone all over the country or just to play family.
Simple bot that works well aslo easier to play with freinds the ui is slightly hard to understand but we quickly picked it up and it works well, no complaints, no adds, great app.
Much better than other apps. We talk on speaker while we play.
This game is the best crib online youll ever download.
Stuck in a train station in Europe? We got time for a game. Waiting for dinner to come? We got time for a game. Relaxing in a hot tub? We got time for a game. It does what we want consistently with zero issues. Thank you.
Great game. We like the graphics.
Love it! Graphics and animation are perfect and work so well.
The game works really well and we rarely experience many issues when playing the game! However, when we do run into issues, they do ruin it. We keep getting glitched out of the game, and whenever we rejoin, we cant see how many wins and losses we had. It doesnt take away too much from the game, but it does get pretty annoying.
We have no use for this, but we're forced to look at it after each game. We don't even have the slightest idea what these "points" represent. And how does the same person hold both the first and second spots? This screen is only for nerds that want to bulk up their egos. We say "why?" Let's play cards already. Give us the option to not have to be annoyed with nonsense every time we play. Update: The developer says he doesn't like our suggestion/critique. We think he could be more receptive. The goal is that every moment playing is a useful enjoyment, that will give the game the highest ratings. Leaderboard is a nuisance to some. Get it? A simple switch to turn it off. Maybe.
When this game works, its awesome. Super easy to run not a big deal. But when this game gets an update every single time theres an update it freezes. Its awful. We mean its awful.
If you dont have this app youre missing the best.
Playing our daughter from Costa Rica while shes in the states rules.
Our wife and we play on this app all the time and we love it. We figured its about time to leave a review. Weve been playing it for over a year and we love the features it has. Better than any other cribbage app Ive played. Closest thing you can get to real cribbage on your phone. 10/10.
Great way to spend a few minutes. It is so hard to find actual people to sit down in person with a board.
