PK
SO frustrating for a first time Cribbage learner. I rarely win and I know that I am not playing badly! The cards are always in their favor.
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
Annoying problem
Enjoy using the app , realistic games, simple easy to use interface and the best thing is no annoying advertising spoiling the game. However, since the last update, each time you leave the game part way through, instead of returning to the previous position in game that game disappears and you have to start over again. This needs fixing.

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?
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.
Just. Cribbage
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.
Just. Cribbage
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!
Not “just” cribbage
I don’t know why someone can’t just make a truly random game of cribbage. This version is ridiculous. You and/or your opponent will virtually always have a great hand, impossibly good. The cards are obviously manipulated. It’s not fun.
It Starts With the Cuts
For the fun of it I counted cuts I won and cuts the game won. The game won 9 cuts in a row and 13 of 15 cuts. This happens all the time. Odds of this happening with a real deck of cards are astronomically low. Game developers need to do better.
Response from developer
The odds of winning the cut are always 50/50. It makes no difference how many times in a row you or the AI player has won it. The odds on the next cut are still 50/50. For more on this, see "gambler's fallacy".
I really appreciate this game!
Thank you for making an ad free, no frills version of cribbage. Even though there’s not a difficulty setting, it seems to be just right for me. I’ve played 20 games so far, and right now it’s tied at 10 wins apiece.
The only suggestion I would make is for a few cosmetic settings - change the background board color, larger cards (maybe allow landscape?), different card backs/fronts, things like that.
But it’s still great the way it is, and I’m grateful that you made a fun, completely free version!

Rigged?
At first, I was doubtful when others said the computer always wins. But after I won the first couple of games and then the computer consistently scored high hands to my low hands, I became much more suspicious. Great without ads though.
Unusable
It just keeps giving itself unbelievably good hands and me useless hands. And whatever I play it has the perfect cards to score against me. Boring.
It’s clean to look at
Sounds are fine - needs another setting for fast play and so I don’t have to ok every count. Good start!
Response from developer
Thank you for this suggestion. Option to auto-ok hand counts is available in version 2.2.1.
Another game that cheats
I’ve been playing cribbage for 60 years. I’ve never seen so many double runs and 14 cribs! Gimme a break!! Lol
Nice and simple but frustrating to play
The little chat bubbles are way too slow on go’s and the cards are kind of small
Simple interface, no ads
Like another reviewer said, the computer seems to win most of the time. I’ve noticed that while I often get 0-point cribs, the computer never seems to no matter what garbage I give it. The computer routinely scores more points in its hand alone than I get in my hand and the crib combined. And the turn card rarely benefits me, but almost always benefits the computer.

Count glitch
Loving this ad-free game! Wanted to let you know about something weird that just happened. New deal (opponent) turned a jack for two points, which was correctly scored. I turned a ten of spades as my first card and received two points. Don’t know why.
Very sad
Was very GFA W
Plain and simple cribbage, just as the name implies
I have played cribbage all my life, taught by both my parents and grandparents who played classic cribbage all of their lives. I have played 8 games so far and am ahead of the computer, 6 to 2. I am sure that will change as time goes on because random card deals play a big role in how well any player does. There is certainly strategy involved in playing cribbage but if you get a crummy hand, you simply aren’t going to make many points except maybe in pegging during the play. My husband and I play frequently and both of us have experienced periods as long as a year where we continually lose (with few exceptions). Then, things change and the other of us starts losing. The “luck” of the cards truly matters in the game. My only complaint is that the game awards a pony for the “right jack” in the crib, which - as I understand the rules- is only allowed to be counted in the hand. ️Thank you for a truly entertaining game!

It WAS just right
…then another update. Flashy dealing, colors for scores and the board is harder to follow.
I liked it before because it was plain and basic. Now there are changes that do nothing to enhance the game. Cribbage is cribbage.
Yes it does seem a bit slanted towards the computer but oh well. I’m more upset about changes made that didn’t need to be made.
Deleted the app.
