Saved Scores

Just released an update (2016.14) that now saves your scores so you can continue a game at a later time (on the same device).

Saving your score is automatic, you don't have to press any buttons. Your scores are saved locally on your device (nothing is saved to the "cloud") and restored when you revisit the game later or when you select refresh in your browser (use this trick to deal a new hand if you don't like the cards you were dealt).

Note that your scores are only saved after you complete a hand (when both player's hands and the crib have been counted). If you stop the game or close the web page before completing a hand your saved scores will not be updated.

You are a Winner

This release (2016.12) fixes a couple of issues when a player wins a game. Now when a player reaches 121 points they / you will announce "... I WIN!"

After that any tap on the table area will ask if you want to close the game. If you respond Yes or Okay then you will be taken to the menu page where you can start a new game. You can respond No or Cancel if you want to spend a little more time reviewing the cards on the table.

It's a small fix for now but an important one for later.

The Rules of Cribbage

Just came across this web site from the Bicycle Playing Card company that clearly and succinctly explains the rules of Cribbage.

I get many emails from users claiming that Quick Cribbage isn't scoring correctly. In all but one recent case it was a misunderstanding of the official rules of Cribbage. Quick Cribbage has been available in multiple forms for the last 30 years and has been well tested. Whether you're a beginner or long time Cribbage fan it always helps to review the official rules.

If you truly believe you have uncovered a scoring anomaly then please attach a screen-capture that shows the error with your feedback. That helps me a lot.

Thanks

New Table Layout

Just released an update (2016.7) that implements a slightly modified layout.

Quick Cribbage 2016.7

Now your hand and played cards are centered on the tabletop. The crib and starter card are placed at the left edge. This layout is more natural, as if you were holding your hand in front of you, and works out better in portrait mode and on smaller devices (tablets and smartphones).

Enjoy!

Quick Cribbage is Live!

I am pleased to announce that Quick Cribbage for the web is now live online. 

Now you can enjoy Cribbage on any browser on any device, Windows, Mac, iPad, Tablet, etc. This is the result of five months of work porting and improving my popular Quick Cribbage for Windows game into a web application. I am pleased with the results and will continue making improvements now that it's compatible with a wider platform. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Quick Cribbage for the Web

For those of you already familiar with Quick Cribbage for Windows I am currently converting all my games to run as web applications. I have already converted Quick Solitaire so a lot of the ground work has been done. I truly believe that applications running in a browser on any device are the future of software and so I am directing all of my efforts towards that goal. Sorry Microsoft, it's time to move on.

Converting Quick Cribbage is my next challenge.

Over the holidays I worked full-time converting my Pascal version of Cribbage to Dart (HTML/Javascript/css) and I'm happy to say it works. I can now play a complete game of Quick Cribbage with a few user interface issues to be resolved.

Here is Quick Cribbage running on an iPad

Many of you have asked for a more intuitive point counting user interface with fewer popups. That is my next challenge now that I am on the web platform. From this point on I don't plan on updating the Windows version anymore since you can always run the new one in your browser on your Windows machine or on any device for that matter.
