Improve your skills and become a cribbage expert! Cribbage classic has a number of settings that can help you to learn the best move for your situation and offer assistance if it notices that you are making a sub-optimal play. Or just play in fast mode where all counting is done for you and you get to simply focus on discarding and pegging. By tweaking the settings you can take this app anywhere from a lazy-thoughtless-time-waster game to a skill-sharpening-master-tutorial helping you to crush your next opponent. Statistics are also kept so you can see your average pegging score, your average hand score, and your average crib score! Also shows you a summary of all of the suboptimal plays you made at the end of the game and tracks your error rate over time so you can see yourself improving. Cribbage Classic also has a "Discard Analyzer" bonus feature that can help you decide on the optimal discard to play given a particular cribbage hand. Analyzer shows you the minimum, maximum and average score for each permutation along with an in depth statistical analysis of all possible flip card results.

Read full description

The idea is simple,... spin the prism to match the color of the approaching enemy. Match five before losing your health and you progress to the next level and regain all your health. The speed of the approaching enemies increases with each successful hit. Additionally, the enemy spawn rate increases and your position will vary as you level up. You'll also need to handle multiple colors as the levels increase. Have fun and spin on!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Cribbage Classic at Free against Prismatic's $0.99. Cribbage Classic also leads on ratings volume (31K vs 2) and chart position (#145 vs unranked). Prismatic's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 66%). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
