Table Crib is the exciting strategy game that takes traditional cribbage, but allows it to be more challenging and enjoyable. Table Crib uses normal cribbage scoring rules as you try to build five high scoring rows or columns while simultaneously sabotaging your opponents' hands. This style is easy to learn, but difficult to master. Whether you're new to the game or have a good understanding of it, Table Crib is an easy but challenging twist that's positively addicting! Do you score points, or play defense? On this 5x5 grid, you will compete with your opponent to build your hands. Your opponent is working to build hands in the rows perpendicular to your columns. One card at a time, you alternate turns. Each player needs to balance offense and defense while understanding the importance of placement. Outwit your opponents in this fast-paced action game.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Table Crib at Free against Cribbage HD's $5.99. Table Crib also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). Cribbage HD's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (2.9K vs 2). On review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cribbage HD holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cribbage HD has 2.9K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Cribbage HD's written reviews are positive against 95% of Table Crib's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cribbage HD ships an update every 2 months, Table Crib every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
