## What is Cribbage Classic?

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.

### 4/5 — Somewhat clunky but educational

*2026-08-20, version 1.4.5*

I think the requirements of saying go on the last move is redundant, even annoying. If you need help with counting, though you're in luck.

### 5/5 — Has a bug

*2026-08-18, version 1.4.5*

Love the game.  If you tap and hold the tap on a card in your hand, and simultaneously tap a card in the discount pile, the card you tapped in the discount pile will be played again.  You can repeat this in the same hand but it will loop giving a point over and over till the round is lost.  Please fix

### 5/5 — Great for learners and pros

*2026-08-17, version 1.4.5*

Great app

### 1/5 — NOT FOR FAMILY USE

*2026-08-13, version 1.4.5*

This game lists “family” as a key descriptor yet upon downloading it, there a pictures of pretty much nude women at the bottom of the screen! Ugh! Seriously?!? Not for age 4+ either! Truly sickening! Be better than that!

### 5/5 — Just learning

*2026-08-12, version 1.4.5*

Teaches me to count points

### 5/5 — Best Cribbage game

*2026-08-11*

I played almost every cribbage game in app store and this one is the best for sure

### 5/5 — Great learning tool

*2026-08-10, version 1.4.5*

Just starting the game. This app explains the points and the moves. Terrific product.

### 5/5 — Deck stacked?

*2026-08-09, version 1.4.5*

“Pro” level simply means the computer gets better cards.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-08-09, version 1.4.5*

I’ve been playing cribbage since I was very young. It was a game that the whole family played when we were my father grew up with it so he taught all of us kids. It’s a good game for using your head for math and just good enjoyment.

### 5/5 — Great, simple app

*2026-08-09, version 1.4.5*

Wanted to re-learn to play IRL with family. This is a great app, and it’s not destroyed with horrible ads added onto every move you make. Highly recommend.
