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.

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.

About

Cajun Bourre

Bourré — The Cajun Card Game Straight from the bayou, Bourré is the fast-moving trick-taking card game that has been a staple of Louisiana card tables for generations. Now you can bring that same energy right to your iPhone. How It Works Every hand starts fresh: five cards are dealt, and one card is turned face-up to set the trump suit. Decide whether to play your hand or sit the round out. If you're in, you can swap out any cards you don't like and draw fresh ones before the tricks begin. Play your five tricks, following suit when you can. The trump card beats everything else, and the player who wins the most tricks takes the kitty. But watch out — if you chose to play and didn't win a single trick, you've gone Bourré. That means you lose points equal to the kitty, which either pads the winner's take or carries forward to seed the next hand — growing the stakes with it. One bad round can flip the standings in a hurry. First player to reach the target score wins. Fall behind — even into negative points — and it's just a bigger hole to climb out of; nobody's ever knocked out of the game. Features • Play against 1 to 6 AI opponents around a virtual dark wood table • Three AI difficulty levels — Easy, Normal, and Hard — to match any skill level • Set your own target score and table size before each game • Choose your Bourré rule variant: points go toward the current hand's kitty or the next one • Full in-app rules guide so you can learn as you play • Warm Cajun-inspired table design that sets the mood without getting in the way Whether you grew up playing Bourré at family gatherings or are discovering it for the first time, this is the most accessible way to get a game going anytime, anywhere.
