Players track these points on a cribbage board by means of advancing pegs-one hole for each point scored. The object of the game is to score a certain number of points through specific card combinations exclusive to this game.
A derivation of an earlier card game, cribbage has survived as one of the most popular card games in the English-speaking world.
Most game historians agree that the English poet Sir John Suckling invented the card game cribbage, also called 'crib,' in the early 17th century.
