Cribbage Premium

Love the game of cribbage and being able to play live games against other random players. I play on my iPad. I should give it 4 stars instead of 5, because it can be glitchy at times, but I truly love playing this game on this App when it is working properly. (Which is most of the time). Some of the glitches: Sometimes it will just shut down and the app closes in the middle of the game. Sometimes it is difficult to put the cards into the crib and at times the wrong cards go into the crib ruining the hand. At times the game just freezes and no cards can be moved. When the game seems to be glitchy, I delete the app and then reinstall it. I lose my stats when I do this, but I think it may help. Not sure though. I think it is great that the players can have a verbal conversation while playing even though I do not do it. Overall, I highly recommend this app and hope that the glitches get fixed.

Yet Another Update: love it still. Another Update: a couple suggestions for improving turn based play. Minor chat ability would be fine but I'd love to see head-to-head stats in the Recent category of inviting "friends." Also, as others said, a quick rematch button would greatly improve UE instead of clicking eight (8!!!!!!) times to invite a rematch. Why does everybody show up as "Not Ranked?" The alerts aren't accurate most of the time - false alert badges pop up all the time. Oh, and sometimes you have to mug blindly because the other player's score doesn't show up - seems to be related to switching between games. Update: love turn-based play! Wasn't thrilled with the update at first but have grown used to play being a bit slower than before and it looks much better. Also, finally hit my 29! For all those that say the expert setting is too tough, you should consider playing hard until you're better at choosing your crib cards. There is no discernible advantage and I have a 61% win rate and am well ahead on skunking and double skunking. They make poor choices during card play that can easily be taken advantage of. Keep practicing.

Sep 29, 2017 - Update The game is still going strong. Still deserving of a 5 star. I only play the expert level and I win about 60% of the games. Well I win 3 out of 5 games. I am pretty consistent with that. I wonder if they can make it a little harder. And also perhaps and opportunity to play other players based on their rankings ---------------------------------------------- Updated: I just found out there is an "explain" button that explains each step of the card process. It basically teaches how how the score process works. Each time you don't understand something, just hit "explain". It is on the same page you are playing - no need to go on to a different screen. Now I know which cards to send to the crib and why. I just beat the easy level 121 to 81. I think I am almost ready for the next level :) --------------------------------------------------I would love to give it more stars. I am a first time player, the rules were available at the beginning. Now that I have played a few games, I need the rules, can't access them. I google the rules, but for some reason it is not exactly how this game is played.

My father and I bought the game to play cribbage together as the description of the game touted of its multiplayer capabilities. It turned out that we would have to connect via Bluetooth or be on the same wireless network in order for the game to work. which doesn’t help us as we live far apart. The app will let you play against strangers that are picked at random from all around the world and yet you can’t choose to play against your father who lives an hour down the road? I feel baited. Like I paid two dollars for a free trial as they dangle ultimate cribbage in front of my face. The app definitely has redeeming qualities when it comes to single player games. With being able to customize cards boards pegs. Also has one of the more sophisticated cribbage AI’s I have ever played against.

Loved this app when I first got it three years ago or so. Played w all my friends and family members that have Game Center. But now it won’t let me play w anyone of my choosing. Only random opponents. I get an error message when I pick my opponent. Very disappointing and I did pay for this app, so you get one negative star for no longer being worth keeping on my phone. I’m flabbergasted that this has such a high rating, makes me think no one plays people they know or someone is getting paid to submit positive reviews. Either way, I smell a rat. Another pointer would be to show last card played. In a real, in person, game you always see what was played last, but in this game if there’s a go, the card is not showed if you are not actively playing the game on your phone.
