You tap on cards to play them, you slide cards around to move them to the kitty, you can re-order cards as you see fit. And be careful about counting points ? if you over count, you are penalized! Again, it seems obvious, but many cribbage games seem to be missing this option. It is GREAT to see the ability to have ?muggings? (getting points your opponent missed) and counting your own points. For multiplayer, you have all the options except for difficulty. For a single player game, this include difficulty, sounds, ?muggings?, point counting (as opposed to having the computer automatically count the points), and game speed. When starting a game, you can also adjust the settings. I do wish there was a wi-fi multiplayer options, but the Bluetooth connect isn?t bad. It may sounds trivial, but many games seem to be lacking in this realm. YAY! We have a multiplayer option for a game that is BUILT around being two players. When playing Cribbage Premium, you have multiple options for playing the game ? single player, two player on the same iPhone, and two players using peer-to-peer Bluetooth connections.

I won?t go into the details of how to play, but it is a pretty straight forward process. Basically, Cribbage is a two play card game with two components ? a pegging round, where you get points by playing certain cards after your opponent, and a pointing round, where you get points by having various combinations of cards. In addition, there are multiple difficulty settings, so as you advance you can increase to harder and harder levels. To start with, Cribbage Premium includes an in depth set of instructions on how to play, so even the most novice player can pick up the game.

Cribbage Premium may be the best one I have tried to date. I have a Cribbage version on my PDA, on my Treo 680, and I have tried multiple versions on the iPhone. I played the game through high school with my parents and friends, and have continued to play it long after.
