Smart Cribbage Scoring can be used in place of a physical board, or when one is absent. It is especially useful for keeping track of rivalries and saving games for later. Drag your peg up the lane hole by hole, or use the scoring menu to tap the plays that made up your count. Either way, you’ll get the option to log your different plays in order to receive interesting statistics at the end of the match. It is a completely effortless process, but you can also just skip this step and just input a score. Every move of the game is listed in the editable play history. Change a score, retag a play from hand to crib, or remove a move entirely. The board rebuilds itself and nothing becomes a permanent statistic until the game ends. Every player gets a local profile. There are no login or account creation options. In Advanced Player Statistics, search any stat in plain words or scroll down the stat options drop down to view interesting facts and comparisons with your friends. The background and the board itself are customizable with images from your own camera roll.
