Cribbage Craze App Reviews

I first found the tutorial on youtube and immediately got down to play it! Lot of Fun! Thank you guys!

Everything I was looking for in a cribbage game

Great game ! Easy to play. Tutorial help you understand how to play the game.

In order to maintain harder difficulties, the AI simply gives you terrible cards, making it fundamentally impossible to win. It relies less on the strategy of play of the AI. Do not recommend. Go find a human to play with.

This is by far the best cribbage app available, the step by step replay and game history review is a must have for serious players to improve their game. Great app

If you are an old salt of cribbage this App will test your mettle and give you the data to improve your game. If you are a novice the tutorial mode will have you up and running in no time. You have tried the rest now download the best. j24 #4

This app is awesome! Just downloaded it yesterday and cant stop playing it!

This is a great game. Easy to learn. Fun to play. Better yet this one allows you to review your history and see how you crushed your opponent weeks ago. Lots of options that other crib games dont have too. I recommend this to anyone who plays cribbage or wants to learn.

Great game! Its really helped me improve my cribbage game. And I can play vs friends!

Fun game but app does not seem to give me points for making 15 during play. Weather 10 & 5 or 2, 3 & face card, I get no points. Only points scored are 1 for closest to 31. Strange

Downloaded a few apps to play Cribbage on but this is my favourite by far. Nice options to turn off auto scoring etc so you can calculate your own score etc. The only thing I would like to see as an improvement is for the app to tell you if you got the manual scoring right (and then a breakdown of the correct scoring if you got it wrong). Great app.

Should be #1

Playing versus the computer is better than most. Computer doesnt suddenly get totally awesome hands when way behind. The dealt hands appear to be more realistic than some of the other cribbage apps. My suggestion is to add a scroll bar on the counting screen, otherwise you have to intuitively know to scroll to get to the flush and his nobs.

Good game, needs a few things to make it a 5star History should be adjustable so you can see more like lifetime, 100, 50, and 25 Needs cloud support Need to be able to play iTunes music in background if you want Needs to have a version of online play that does not require both people to be on at the same time The game does have a good AI Good game for just a match against AI though...once some more features are added it will totally be a 5star game

This is an updated review after playing for two months. If you want to improve you game, Cribbage Craze is the best Cribbage app available for several reasons, but primarily for the historical statistics kept for all games. The AI opponent is very strong and I sympathize with a previous reviewers complaint that the AI is cheating, but all you need to do is look at the history and know how to interpret the statistics. Cribbage card game statistics are widely studied and fascinating to many. If you use them to measure your game to any of your opponents (including the AI), you can see where the real issue lies. The stats are very accessible and easy to interpret. After the first 25 games, my win percentage was 40%. The stats revealed the difference between my play and the AI was in pegging and the crib scores, not in the hand , or the cut. I started to pay more attention to discarding, pegging, and board position. After 52 games, my stats vs. Brainys (computer): Me: Avg Hand = 7.49, Avg Crib = 4.06, Avg Peg = 2.78, Avg Cut = 3.51 Brainy: Avg Hand = 7.40, Avg Crib = 4.19, Avg Peg = 2.81, Avg Cut = 3.54 How do these stats compare to the known stats measured by some of the best players real card play over thousands of hands? Experts: Avg Hand = 8.0, Avg Peg = 2.80, Avg Crib = 4.8 As you can see, Brainys stats are not out of line and are within the statistical possibilities of the game for a good player. The computer is an especially good Pegger. My win percentage has since climbed from 40 to 46 percent and the Skunks are 3 to 2. If you dont trust the statistics provided, you can calculate them yourself because CC provides detailed history including every card played of every hand in every game. There are other Cribbage games that provide stats, and a few that provide computer opponent stats, but not in this compact and elegant format and with this strong of an AI opponent. If you want to improve your game and are constantly thinking that the computer is playing with an unfair advantage, this is the app to get. You can also flip the peg board over during play and view the game in progress stats with the deal # which really helps with locating board positional holes and adjusting strategy.

I have tried 5 different cribbage apps and this is the best one so far. After a few games, the stat feature made it clear where my game was weak. Highly recommend.

Just trying to re-learn cribbage to play it with my grandsons. This app is great and addicting. Having lots of fun playing it.

This is an excellent and well designed game. Clearly a lot of thought went into it. Its interface is intuitive and attractive and the game play is a lot of fun. The builtin little tutorial at the beginning is handy for new players and introduces the game well. The absolute best part of this game is the way the AI is implemented. Its actually realistic, dealing "real" hands from the deck rather than all of these other cheater games that deal completely ridiculous hands. This has now become my new favorite cribbage/-game on my phone.

Game cheats while pegging. It will often make illogical moves (like pegging to 21) or skip logical moves (like making a 15) because it sees what you have in your hand and can counter it. Not much fun when you figure that out.
