More about Cribbage
Like most card games, playing cribbage is good for brain health, as it involves math, strategy, socializing, and problem solving. Plus, Cribbage doesn’t take long to learn, doesn’t take long to play, and it’s portable, making it a near perfect game!
English poet Sir John Suckling (by all accounts a colossal card cheat) created cribbage in the 17th century, making it one of the world’s oldest and most popular card games.
An evolution of the English game Noddy, typically two people play cribbage using a deck of cards and a board dotted with “streets” of holes to keep score with little pegs.
The goal is to be the first player to score 121 points (which is why hole 120, one short of the game hole, is called the “stink hole”).
Cribbage, dubbed Britain’s national card game, was immortalized in the Charles Dickens’ tale, The Old Curiosity Shop, and has a storied history with submariners dating back to a lucky cribbage board played on a World War II vessel.
