Cribbage Academy’s high-quality dictation voices talk you through the game as if you were playing with live opponents, announcing the plays and counting the hands. This creates a much deeper immersion in the game, using all your senses. The simple playing surface keeps clutter to a minimum, allowing you to focus on strategy and the pleasure of the game. Automatic scoring relieves you from the tedium of counting peg holes, yet still shows you the pegging race to the finish hole. Cribbage has been described as the best 2-handed card game ever invented. It combines luck and skill in just the right proportions, so that anyone can win a game but a skilled player will win more often. Cribbage Academy can teach you the game even if you have never played it, and experienced players can learn from the suggestions in the game and the strategy tips on our web site. One simple price buys the entire game for Apple TV, iPhone, and iPad, with lifetime updates. Another buys the same for Macintosh.
