Grandpa's Cribbage Free

The game plays like cribbage, but the hands dealt are utterly unrealistic, plus Grandpa has a nasty habit of scoring 48 - 60 in two hands on home stretch. This game is crying out for some *true*randomness. The developer responded with an outline of expected gameplay stats, which were broadly correct. Most counters are also equal or thereabouts, with one exception - '16 hands' - 160 to me, 238 to grandpa. I repeat, this game needs *randomness*.

Good practice to play against my dad lol he beats me at this game most if not all the time.

There is absolutely no way this game is random. Playing on easy you'll win 95+% without the score being even close. Intermediate you will lose 100% of games that are close in score (which is most) and the only times you'll win will be clearly lopsided in your favor (winning by 25+)

This game plays great on my 10 inch tablet! The last cribbage app I played did not allow resuming a game. Nice to be able to come back later and resume where you left off.

good

Last update fixed most every problem. Now cpu is dealt 1, 2, 3 or more 5's every hand. Too often to be considered random. Too bad...you lost me & I did really like your game

Fun and challenging. Love all the stats.

Time delay after a "go" is too long. Other than that really enjoy app!

The new counting options are very quick and intuitive. Love being able to call muggins on Grandpa! The stats shows the missed points and the one time Grandpa missed points I caught the muggins! I think the game speed could be improved a bit. Love the updated graphics too, it looks very professional!

After latest update I can move longer open game...continues to say it's quit working. Wasn't liking it after last update with all the directing of cards. Uninstalling.

Could you please make it so the advanced play feature doesn't show the count everytime.. if I'm advanced I know what a pair is and a run etc..

Damn why is it that I never have the card that keeps grandpa from scoring. As if by magic he always has the right f--kin card! Bull s--t!

Better than any other cribbage app I've tried

AI could be fixed a little, because my win percentage is around 70%... On the other hand that's kind of nice

Fair for helping to train a son for ice fishing

I complained about a month ago that Grandpa had begun to win 75% or more of all games played, and often doing so with a late unrealistic surge that was extremely frustrating. The last couple of weeks I have won almost every game. Obviously winning them all is much more satisfying than losing most so I will drop that complaint. I had to delete my previous review in order to post this one (why?) and I seem to be limited to far fewer characters per review than several others I see listed (why again?). At limit

Last update fixed most every problem. Bugs vastly improved. In-game scoring is no longer visible via dialogue boxes

Love the new levels. Tried them all and its harder but not too hard.

If one player is out of cards, and there's a "go", the game will sometimes score a point for both players...I think. Last card is then also given. Not sure if that's correct.

So how do you take a game that was working fine and do an update and now it sucks... I'm looking for a new one..!! Try again dumbasses..!! Unbelievable really

OK so the graphics suck and it can be slow to move the game on after pressing 'DONE', but the pros vastly outweigh these cons. Ads are few and non-intrusive. Easy to play anytime anywhere (i.e. offline). Hands are fair. Doesn't demand access to your device's identity, media files, call information etc. like so many other games. Update April 2016: Latest upgrades have made it worse. Lost a star from me.

I like that the game has progressively gotten better and more difficult, although I would like to see the game be a bit harder. I really do not understand why other reviewers say this game cheats, I win over 2/3 of the time. To say that it cheats is totally laughable. I would actually warn off people who are very skilled at cribbage as this game may not be enough of a challenge. The graphics look great on my old s3 as well as my new Kindle. It is also just as responsive on the old s3. The ads are not that bad, most games on here are much worse, intentionally placing ads in areas to make you accidentally click them. The developer is very responsive to feedback and even cleaned up the graphics after I pointed out some choppiness on my tablet that I had not noticed on my phone.

Game froze after updating. Had to delete then reload game. Lost all stats...which I was winning.

Cheats regardless what they say!

Regarding the developer's defensive comments, the software is billed as no ads during play, which is intentionally deceptive, as there are ADS during the scoring after EACH AND EVERY hand. As for the cheating, I have no idea what motivation the developer would have in giving the computer an edge, but having played a lot of real cribbage with real cards, it is very rare for any player to have back to back to back 16+ point hands. Download this app only if you want to see ads after every hand is scored and don't care if the hands are realistic or scoring is accurate. There are better free cribbage apps out there without the frequent, annoying ad banners. Original review: Was great, ads and gross cheating ruined it. Among other issues in the most recent update, full screen width banner ads over the cards during scoring are intolerable. Ads used to occur only after a game finished. Scoring and hands are also weighted heavily in favor of the computer; in other words, it cheats more than it did (honestly, all computer cribbage games cheat, finding one that doesn't cheat horribly is the trick). Unable to stop a game and start over. Observed apparent peg scoring errors. Awful.

Was doing well,but this week is breaking down again. It will blackout when it's time to count, if you go all the way out it comes back but really spoils the game. Hope you can fix it, because when it works, it is great. Thanks

I really enjoy the updated version :-)

Thank you. I really enjoy this game.

It's free, so can't complain. It is buggy though. Frequently says I've won & vice-versa, when in fact it's the other way round. It's a niggle, but if you can live with it, it's a good free crib game without too many distractions

Very good game for free and no unnecessary intrusive permissions. Nice graphics on a Samsung S3 and a Samsung Tab 3 10.1". Good game play; seems to play fair to me. Nice enough that I got the paid version.

Non intrusive ads, clear board/cards layout.

This game is a good game but it is not very fun to play because just like ever other game that you play against the computer it cheats bad fix please. This game is very obvious that it cheats very badly. Why play when you know that the computer is going to win every time. Why even play. There is no challenge to play. You still have not fixed it. This game really sucks.

The counting is off. For instance, on the pay to 31, if I play a card and G-pa cant play it automatically gives me 1 point, but if I am still able to play to hit 31, then it gives me another 2 points for a total of 3 instead of 2. Otherwise easy to play and good. Only 2 stars for counting issue, otherwise would be 5. Update: I am encountering more counting issues. Quite annoying. Also how is it that after I have a good game and beat the computer, the next game it completely destroys me? I just finished playing and my cribs were 0 -0 - 2 - 4 - 0 - 0. How in having 6 cribs there is only 6 points total? And this has happened multiple times. I skunked the computer the other day and then lost the next game 121 - 42... and it seems that happens often. I truly like the layout and the design of your app, but there are some serious bugs to fix.

Statistics close too quick. Pop ups pop up 2 seconds after end of game. Doesn't give you enough time to read stats for the game

Let's see....at least 1 - 5 dealt to Grandpa in every hand, and a pair of 5's dealt 3 times...and you have the balls to say it is a random deal

If you enjoy getting dealt a double run 60 percent of the time, and being able to count on the cut giving you one the rest of the time, then play this. Rigged, rigged, rigged. Maybe Grandpa could add an option for "just deal the cards normally".

Please add an indicator of whose crib it is. Initially this is displayed. However, if you get interrupted during card selection or change your mind about the cards selected and you forget, you then can't tell whose crib it is. Thanks.

Don't waist your time.

Bare bones goodness but no sound? Wish it had game options.

The latest update improves this game enormously - gone is the patronising kiddo and the game play is much smoother. It still makes mistakes during play - but don't we all (well., most of us). One tiny tiny improvement - put the brief 'discard...' message higher on the screen. I'm ready to pay for the ad-free version. We'll done!
