For all three difficulty levels the cards are dealt completely at random to both you and to the computer. The difference between the easy, standard and pro levels is the strategy used to choose the computer's discards and pegging plays. If you are finding that your computer opponent is beating you, you will likely benefit from understanding how the computer chooses its next move.
| Discarding: | Chooses a random pair of cards. |
| Pegging: | Chooses a random valid card. |
What started as a card game which could be only played physically with people has evolved into a free online cribbage game which can be played with people across the world for free. Objective The free cribbage game goes on with a succession of “hands”, each hand consisting of a “deal”, “the play” and “the show”. Free cribbage online is a Java game that lets you play Cribbage against the computer online - free! Although the interface is simple, it plays a reasonable game, and is probably the quickest way to get playing Cribbage online.
| Discarding: | Chooses the pair of cards that will result in the best hand score ignoring the possible flip card. If the discards are a pair or sum to 15, it adjusts the analyzed hand value by 2 (plus or minus depending on the crib owner.) Notice that this strategy does not account for flushes or possible runs that could result from the flip card. |
| Pegging: | Chooses the next card that will result in the highest score for itself. If all plays are of equal value then it chooses at random. |
| Discarding: | Evaluates the score for each pair of discards for all possible flip cards still left in the deck. Then takes the play that averages the highest outcome. For the cards in the crib, evaluates their value as well with each possible flip card and adds or subtracts depending on who will count the crib. Note that the potential from the two additional crib cards are not included in the crib analysis. |
| Pegging: | Chooses the next card that will result in the highest score for itself. It also prefers not to leave the pegging count at 5 or 21. If all plays are of equal value then it chooses at random. |

i have been playing this game for a while now; but something interesting is happening.....the computer never gets a hand that scores less than double digits, i rarely win the first crib ( even when i got a 1 once ), I'm lucky to get double digit scores maybe twice per game....I thought this game was for enjoyment - not all out winner takes all !

The Android version has a 'Recount Button' when the hands are counted incase you need the hand recounted. The Windows version needs to have this feature as well.

I like the statistics. I don't like that in some scenarios, the count panel covers up parts of your hand.
