Etymology

The game of cribbage can trace its origins back to the early 17th century, attributed most notably to Sir John Suckling, an English poet and courtier. It is believed that Suckling created the game as a card variant of an earlier game called 'Noddy'. The original version of cribbage was played with a simple set of rules, yet it quickly evolved into more structured forms. The cribbage board, which serves as a scoring device featuring pegs to mark points, became an essential component of the game over time. As the game gained popularity, it migrated across the ocean to America in the 19th century where it was embraced and adapted by American players. Today, cribbage remains a beloved pastime around the world, known for its unique blend of strategy and chance.
