85/100

Cribbage Premium is the most polished version of the 17th-century card game I’ve encountered on the App Store. As an expert in card games, I look for three things: a clear UI, fast-paced gameplay, and a challenging AI. This app delivers on all three. The 'Muggins' rule is implemented perfectly, keeping you on your toes to ensure you don't miss any points during the pegging phase.

The visual customization is a nice touch, allowing you to choose from various boards and card decks. However, the real draw is the competitive multiplayer and the detailed statistics tracking. It’s rare to find a mobile card game that records your 'average points per hand' or 'scoring accuracy' so diligently. Whether you're a beginner learning to count 15-2s or a veteran playing for high stakes, this is the definitive digital cribbage board.

Dinsun Review

Cribbage is a game of nuance and small margins, and this app captures that well. The AI on 'Expert' mode is actually quite formidable, making it a good training ground for real-world play. The interface is conservative—it looks like a digital version of a wooden board, which I appreciate. No need to reinvent the wheel here.

The multiplayer works, though finding a match can take longer than I'd like. The 'premium' tag is justified by the lack of ads, which is a rare blessing on mobile. It's a solid, unspectacular implementation of a solid, unspectacular game. If you like Cribbage, you'll like this. If you don't, this won't change your mind. It’s exactly what it says on the box, which is more than I can say for most apps.
