Ultimate Cribbage: Classic

I have cribbaged for many years and tried a couple of cribbaging apps. The cribbage in this cribbage app is the cribbagiest. Some apps rely on a variety of cribbages but this one seems to use a cribbage rank system. My cribbage review is early in my cribbage rank, so I can’t comment on top level cribbaging. But the cribbage speed is good and the cribbage score is cribbagy enough for me. I do wish the cribbage cards and cribbage board were a bit bigger.. make better use of the cribbagespace. But that’s a minor complaint in the bigger cribbage picture. Added later: I still play this all the time. Great game. I like how you can collect medals, xp, crowns, and coins. After a certain amount of time, none of those really do anything at all, but you know… collecting stuff is fun. For example, to progress from the Diamond level to the Plutonium level you literally need to complete around 300 challenges. You can also pay your way by using around 4000 coins. But since I get about 1 challenge completed in a week and earn about 10 coins, I have given up any hope of moving to the next level. Fortunately, the levels are also pretty meaningless and so you’re left with a solid cribbage game that is totally fine without all the other stuff layered on top.

I love how this game looks. Upfront and inside, the app is pretty attractive. There are VERY few ads that pop up while you’re playing, but the best part about them is that they’re skippable and short too. The ads also don’t pop up that much. If you’re still getting the hang of Cribbage like me, you’ll find that the detailed and automatic counting of the cards to be of immense help. Anyways, I just download the app for Cribbage so I don’t care for that much of the other games available only with Cribbage Club. I especially love how this game can still be functional and enjoyable without paying for Cribbage Club. It shows to how the game isn’t pay-to-play. I wish it was faster to rank up in Cribbage, but that isn’t a huge problem because it’s still fun to play nonetheless. If you’re competitive, however, you might find yourself getting bored of your progress in Cribbage among the other games available. I’m pretty sure that the games aren’t live, so I think it would be super fun and a great challenge if they were.

For the most part, the game works well and who ever made it should be proud of their accomplishment. I like the game, obviously, or I wouldn't be playing it. I think the designers should understand that some of the players will never gamble, and at some point, stop asking. It is a annoying waste if time. Some of the challenges take too long. It had one glitch with me, when I completed the platinum level, it returned me to the beginning of platinum again, instead of moving on to the next level. Very disappointing! If it happens again, I won't continue playing the game! I have to say, I’m disappointed I received no response to my first review, but with that said, the games just seem to go on indefinitely, so I guess I’ve just resigned to keep on playing like there aren’t any levels to it. The only thing I have ascertained is that the computer doesn’t allow as many counting mistakes to mug the further I play on.
