App Profile: Just Cribbage

Loved having no ads and played over 100 games. However the computer wins 80%. Noticed the top card always seems to favor the computers hand. They’ve scored 20-24 a couple times almost every game making it impossible to catch up and win. I get skunked constantly. I play irl too and the issue isn’t my strategy, it’s the computer getting favored 99% if the time.

I have played cribbage all my life, taught by both my parents and grandparents who played classic cribbage all of their lives. I have played 8 games so far and am ahead of the computer, 6 to 2. I am sure that will change as time goes on because random card deals play a big role in how well any player does. There is certainly strategy involved in playing cribbage but if you get a crummy hand, you simply aren’t going to make many points except maybe in pegging during the play. My husband and I play frequently and both of us have experienced periods as long as a year where we continually lose (with few exceptions). Then, things change and the other of us starts losing. The “luck” of the cards truly matters in the game. My only complaint is that the game awards a pony for the “right jack” in the crib, which - as I understand the rules- is only allowed to be counted in the hand. ️Thank you for a truly entertaining game!

Thank you for making an ad free, no frills version of cribbage. Even though there’s not a difficulty setting, it seems to be just right for me. I’ve played 20 games so far, and right now it’s tied at 10 wins apiece. The only suggestion I would make is for a few cosmetic settings - change the background board color, larger cards (maybe allow landscape?), different card backs/fronts, things like that. But it’s still great the way it is, and I’m grateful that you made a fun, completely free version!
