Read full descriptionHide full description
Practice standard-deck cribbage in five-minute drills: count hands, read the pegging board, choose strong discards, and learn the reason behind every answer. Cribbage Trainer is a focused practice companion for players learning the game or sharpening decisions between table sessions. No opponents, no pressure, and no account required. Just quick interactive reps that build confidence before the next deal. FOUR FREE PRACTICE ROOMS THE CARD ROOM Learn the standard deck, card values, fifteens, pairs, runs, flushes, his nobs, the starter, the crib, and the race to 121. THE SCORING ROOM See a hand, identify its scoring shapes, and build a reliable order for counting fifteens, pairs, runs, flushes, nobs, and the crib. THE DISCARD ROOM Study the tradeoff between your hand and the dealer's crib. Choose two cards to discard, then compare your decision with the coach's reasoning. THE PEGGING ROOM Practice running totals, 15s, 31, pairs, runs, go, last card, and the small decisions that turn a pegging sequence into points. CRIBBAGE+ (optional upgrade) Everything above stays free, forever. Cribbage+ adds fresh practice that never runs out: ENDLESS PRACTICE generates new legal hands for focused counting and pegging practice.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PCLD at none against Cribbage Trainer's 3. Cribbage Trainer's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 8 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
