OK for Free

This is an OK game for free, with no frills. LOSER ALWAYS gets the next crib; something is wrong with the logic of the crib. Additionally, I sure wish the deal were actually random, becuase there are far too many large hands which does not typically happen IRL

Response from developer

The deck is shuffled before each deal with the Swift shuffle() function (Swift is the programming language used in IOS apps). This function is a widely-used random order generator. In the app, cards are always dealt off the top of the deck. Actually it is the real-life game that does not produce a genuine random deck, as a couple of hand shuffles does not accomplish this.

Where are the 5’s?

I think I’m a better player than posting a .333 batting average. I’m wondering why it seems like the 5 cards are so scarce for my draws. are you reading this?

The deck is randomly shuffled before each deal, and the starter card is randomly chosen. The odds of you receiving a 5 are the same in each hand, no matter how many times in the past you did not get one. For more on this see "Gambler's Fallacy".

Decent Version

I’d love a few more options for the display and some settings (including seeing the board in landscape mode), mostly the issue that I have is that the computer plays beyond perfectly with the most incredible luck. It’s crazy.

The game is truly random and the AI player is only as good as I can program it. But I've come to realize that players are going to believe what they want to believe. Landscape mode is available on iPad; iPhones are not big enough.

Took down my review about how “honest” this game is. After seeing the app deal six-12 point or greater hands to itself IN A ROW I reached the conclusion that nobody is that lucky. Two stars.

The statistical probability of getting a "great hand" is always the same on every deal. It makes no difference how many times in a row you or the opponent get a great hand. The probability of a great hand on the next deal is still the same. For more on this, see "gambler's fallacy".

This may be the smartest and most honest of any cribbage app I’ve tried. I love the absence of advertisements. You have made a worthy opponent, sir. Nice job!
