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.

Pros and cons of Cribbage Classic app for iPhone and iPad

Cribbage Classic app good for

In easy level, has hints to help you learn the game. Like that it shows my suboptimal plays. Still learning which cards are best to put in the crib - wish there was a strategy explanation sometimes.
I am an avid cribbage player and have only played this 4 times against the pro, but throughly enjoy it. I disagree with a few of the play reviews, but they are based on odds, not experience.
This is a very good crib game, and has a lot of configuration to play the way you want to play.
Good cribbage game but the sub-optimal suggestions are WAY WAY off. Cribbage is a game of skill and chance. Gambling on a cut is a huge part of the game which the sub-optimal tracker doesnt seem to account for. Still a good app.
Game play is smooth and easy to follow. Brings back memories.
Cribbage ! Really love it what a great training tool. Thank you so much

Some bad moments

Previously I was rather impressed with this app. Now Im experiencing completely lopsided card distribution. Pathetic an app developer has to cheat his customers like that.
I started out beating the pro and now it continually has hands of 18 and 24. Always catching the right card on the cut. At the end of the game and it reviews how you play your hands I am never more than a pt. or two of playing my hands perfect and the difference in pts. Never plays in the outcome of the game. Mr perfect hand is now always winning.
I dont know why this app deals it self runs almost every time, the same runs three time in a row. Obviously not dealing randomly. But it is free and you get what you pay for.
Im not sure what is going on but lately the game glitches , the play is hesitating and slow. Tried reinstalling but no help
Certain Ads American Warehouse example slow the the game down so it is unplayable
Random generator is stuck as I get Jacks 6 out of 10 turn ups. Then another card is stuck. At first I thought it was a fluke, but they continue after 100 games. Way too much echo of hands. The random card generator needs big work. Otherwise an OK game ruined by poor card randomizer.
