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.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cribbage Classic at none against Cribbage Classic's 12. Cribbage Classic also leads on review sentiment (66% vs 39%) and ratings volume (31K vs 1.7K). Cribbage Classic's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 9 months) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cribbage Classic holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cribbage Classic has 31K ratings behind it against 1.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Cribbage Classic's written reviews are positive against 39% of Cribbage Classic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cribbage Classic ships an update every 9 months, Cribbage Classic monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
