The classic card game Cribbage also known as Crib, Cribble, and Noddy. A card game traditionally for two players, that involves playing and grouping cards in combinations which gain points. Cribbage has several distinctive features: the cribbage board used for score keeping, the crib, box, or kitty, a separate hand counting for the dealer, two distinct scoring stages (the play and the show), aces low, and a unique scoring system including points for groups of cards that total fifteen (15).

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cribbage JD at 67% against Kaiser's 0%. Cribbage JD also leads on ratings volume (19K vs 2). Kaiser's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cribbage JD sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Kaiser sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Kaiser holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cribbage JD has 19K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Cribbage JD's written reviews are positive against 0% of Kaiser's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
