Cribbage Classic – Family Game Review

It’s rated 4+ and currently has 30,008+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Cribbage Classic Stand Out
Improve your skills and become a cribbage expert! 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 suboptimal 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.
This Family game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Fun game but totally rigged, at least in pro mode. Just because you are a pro makes you no luckier than a beginner when it comes to the cards you get. Unless of course you are able to stack the deck the way this game does. Mr Pro always gets the cards and hits the cuts just right. He somehow always counts first at the end of a close game as well. Funny how that works. The pegging and cribs for the pro are absolute B.S. Ive played this game for over 50 years and am calling the designer out on this one. Make it fair because it is definitely not.
This app is helping us learn cribbage big time! Im not good at cards so the tips on easy mode really help! Easy app to use too! Love it.
Really like this app. Works great and several different levels to play. We like how it shows you pegged, hand and crib points after the hand.
Unless it starts playing to many cards and we have to delete it and start over.
The discard analyzer has really helped us improve our play. Also, we do manual count to train ourselves to see more points.
Very good learning tool and extra practice . Good guide for figuring out our crib donations, and well explained. Thank you for this app.
We have been playing cribbage most of our life. Love the counting feature but especially love the discard advice. Pretty cool.
We love to play Cribbage. Ive taught our older children how to play. Its so relaxing. It was hard to find an app that was a good teacher, a refresher on scoring and we dont have to shuffle cards a lot. The best part so far, is theres no ads. We really like this app. Thanks.
This is a great way to play cribbage. You can see if you make the right decisions to help you learn and improve your game. Keeps the statistics so you can really get a good idea of your skills.
Great for when youre bored it really works your brain.
The suggestions are such a great learning tool! Plays really nice on the iPad. Dealing seems to be fair.
Great app that runs perfectly and has many different settings to speed along the game or allow you to score the whole game yourself. Love this app.
Ive been a cribbage player for years, this app is the best one Ive ever used. Great app for beginners too.
Im newly introduced to Cribbage in a family of professionals from Maine. The hints and help this app offers is helping us to get better.
Well-designed application and challenging game.
We play everyday. Great game, easy play and when alone we can still play! Best EVERYDAY game.
Best cribbage yet! We play a lot and its still entertaining.
We just started learning Cribbage and this game gives good tips for discarding, playing and is easy to use.
We learned to play cribbage with this app. Theres quite a lot to learning cribbage but it brought us along concept after concept. Excellent.
You can count your own cards and doesnt require internet.
Thankful to Karry for showing us this game while on a ski trip. An Incredible game blending both strategy & skill – a true mind bender that can really make you bond with your Godfather.
Enjoy the different levels of play. The summary of suboptimal plays is a very helpful way to improve your game. Most of all, love the lack of ads.
Won the board game for Christmas and downloaded this to help teach us got to play. Its been great so far. We just need to k ow how to move the pegs on the board now. This game is good fun.
Just learning the game and appreciate the analytics and the fact that the ads are not especially intrusive. Great implementation of a wonderful classic.
We practically cried the first time some friends tried to teach us cribbage. It was really overwhelming, so we came home and downloaded this app. Im growing in confidence and just played again with friends and won.
We have learned so much with this app. Its easy to use and we like how we can control how much it helps us. It was hard to see on our phone. On our tablet its perfect.
Great to play with hints to learn optimal scoring for each part of the game.
Im learning and it makes everything easy for you.
Fun game with good instructions.
This app is a great tutorial for anyone new to cribbage. The play is very intuitive and realistic. This is our go to cribbage app.
Easy and quick. It's also nice to see the analysis at the end.
We used to play this game with our dad 50 years ago! When we found our old cribbage board, we only remembered a few things about the game. Playing with this app helped us remember and gave us happy memories of our dad . The hints and the counting hands helped so much! Thank you.
Great app for beginners through experts! Ty.
Excellent game. Levels are well thought out. Great way to learn or refresh playing cribbage.
Very straightforward games with computer. Also analyzes hands and point optimization. Best part, doesnt overwhelm you with ads. No pop ups.
We just learned cribbage, and we wanted to practice. This does what youre asking for. We appreciate therere options for muggins and counting your points, since thats what youd do in real life.
We learned Cribbage from this app a few years ago (Covid lockdown!) and am still enjoying it. Excellent tutorial and levels of difficulty. Unobtrusive ads.
We enjoy playing the game of cribbage with others and playing the computer is great fun. We like the feedback that the game provides to assist us in our strategy. This is a well made game.
Its a fun game, old timer kinda game.
Using manual counting on Pro level, App will not count/score flush in hand with and without. Hands: 987,6(turn)7; 7899,5(turn);2 23Q,5(turn); 3810 A,6(turn); JKJ5,7(turn); J5 96 A(turn) Love the game but wonder how much better our stats would be if this were fixed.
The tutorial is very helpful. Playing the game with the scoring explained is extremely helpful as well. We only wish there was an explanation for the hints.
We have been playing crib since before grade school and we are in our sixties. Its a simple easy to read app and as far as we are concerned the best crib app out there.
Good way to learn how to play cribbage.
The crib analyzer is very helpful.
Im new but loving the hints and helps in play.
This app is awesome. We used to be an avid cribbage player, but not a lot of people know how to play. This was challenging at the standard level and Ive moved up to pro. We would recommend it also for its teaching capabilities. It tells you when you played the wrong cards and shouldve played a different card based on statistics but you have to wait till the end of the game.
Very good study tool! Trying to get better at recognizing hands and optimizing crib play.
This app is the best in the App Store for increasing your skill in Cribbage. Im a numbers guy, so all the statistics stuff is extremely fascinating and helpful. Watching yourself go from having trouble beating the easiest bot to beating the expert bot more than half the time is sooo cool. The only way this app could be better is if there was multiplayer.
We really like the suboptimal review of each game. It reminds you of missed opportunities to get a higher score in future games.
We wanted to remember what to discard to the crib and how to score and this app gives hints (in basic play) about which cards to keep no nonsense, minimal banner ads. Its great.
