Worst option
This is the worst presentation of Cribbage available. Don’t waste your time with it.
Great game
Fun to play. Keeps you thinking.
To many adverts
Despite advertising no adds, it has adds that you can’t easily get out of that Royal Kingdom is the worst, nightmare. So continually delete app and reload when I feel like a game.
Other than that it’s not bad for keeping you hand in so to speak.

“None of the fluff” means lots of ads still
Forced ad at the end of each game, banner ads at the bottom and a ton of pop up’s. It’s like the developer is selling out or something.
Needs Refinement
I love cribbage. I learned to play when I was seven years old, sitting at the kitchen table with my grandparents as they patiently and enthusiastically taught me the rules, strategies, and nuances of the game.
Of all the cribbage apps I’ve tried on iOS, this is one of the best. I’ve downloaded several but I keep coming back to this one. That said, there are a few areas that could use refinement.
The gameplay interface is a little confusing at first, although it becomes much easier once you get used to it. My biggest issue, however, is the AI. I play at the highest difficulty, and it becomes ridiculously predictable. When the AI is losing, it seems like 99 times out of 100 it suddenly gets exactly the hand it needs to catch up or win. The cards may technically be dealt randomly, but the results often don’t feel random.
Hands worth 12 or more points should be relatively uncommon, yet the AI seems to get them with surprising frequency, often more than half the time. The win and loss streaks feel similarly predictable. I’ll win a couple, then lose a couple, almost like clockwork. That also makes tracking streaks feel somewhat pointless.
Overall, this is a very good cribbage app with a ton of potential. With some refinements to the gameplay, interface, and especially the AI, I think it could easily be the best cribbage app available on iOS.
