I think this site also provides an excellent opportunity to learn how to play card games. The multiplayer option is fantastic and if there isn't anyone available to play, you can just play against the computer until some people show up. Playing against the AI can be kind of a bore, sometimes, but that's typical when you play games of chance against the computer. The idea that this online game reflects everyday real world statistical probabilty is well, just laughable, I for one have been playing cribbage for over 50 years and, whilst not a world champion, am not unknowledgeable about the game and understand the frequency and probability of certain hand sequences within the game. I believe there is a review that states all of us "complainers" are cribbage tyros who are just "sore losers" and don't understand the game. It is a good time waster but don't believe anything other than the cards you get, the hits you make on the draw and the situations you find yourself in during the pegging portion have all been manipulated by the website designers in an attempt to entertain you and to ensure you get hooked playing on the site. It's pretty much out of your hands whether you win or lose because it has been predetermined beforehand whether you will win or lose that particular game. Don't beat yourself up when you lose either. Just don't kid yourself into thinking you're playing great when you clobber your opponent. games like these do not happen with random deals! Hence, this is why you are seeing in these reviews that many players see through the lack of randomness. And, it is tough for them to do that without making it obvious that they are skewing the results from random play. The website's mission is to have something interesting happening during every game (and it can be for you or against you) to keep you coming back for more. During play at your kitchen table with a friend you'll have some really exciting hands but, you won't have something improbable happen during each game. The whole idea of "rigging" the game is not to screw you over after all, who's gonna come back for more if they can never win? The reason to "adjust" the game's probability is to make sure each session has some excitement. In fact sometimes the game is a blow-out in your favor. right around the 90 point area, give or take. The tide seems to frequently turn roughly at the most critical point of the game for having a small lead. Once every 15 games is not statistically probable. He also put a 6,7 in his crib and got a double-double! As a result, you were 20 points ahead before this hand but end up losing the game by 15 points. Your opponent drew to a 9, 10, 10, 10 and hit a triple run. You keep your sure 8 points and toss the 6 and 8 into your opponents crib. When the game is tight and you get a pat hand that you "have to" hold a certain 4 cards, you should look out! For instance, you're dealt J, J, Q, K, 6,8. This is the first thing that made me suspicious. Very often, and much more frequently than probability the card draw will pair the complementary card you kept with your trio. Naturally you keep the 3 in your hand with another complementary card. It's of course automatic you have to take the pair to garner at least some points and invariably "Bill" will have the 3rd one and peg 6 for three of a kind.Ī couple of other frequent happenings I've noticed are when you get 3 of a kind on the deal. Of course there are times when you get stuck for a proper play (just like in a real game although more frequently in the online version.) Your most useful hand turns out to be something that once your opponent plays a card you can only either play for the pair or give up a 3 card run. Even so, I can generally "out-think" my electronic opponent on the pegging portion of the game. ![]() Yes, the cards are not like a random deal at your home card game. Also, I have seen toooo many times where the 2,3, and 4 of diamonds are scattered evenly and the other player doesn't have a diamond, but just so happens to have the queen of spades and plays it then. I've notice that the queen is always to my left waaaaay too often so if I take a chance and throw the Ace or King as the 3rd player in the sequence, 9 times out of 10, the queen will get played from the left. The game will make sure you get the queen of spades come hell or high water. If think I have seen my own partner low-ball me during a Nil bid causing me to take a hand, when they could have dealt a higher card to help me out. However, spades and hearts don't act right at times. Some games go way overboard and nearly give me motion sickness. I think the actual graphics of the cards are some of the best I have ever found because they are not over-run with annoying movements and distracting sounds of cards shuffling. I don't know that this is deliberately rigged or just bad programming.
