The game of Cribbage was created by the English poet Sir John Suckling in the early 17th century.
It is one of the most popular games in the English-speaking world.
The objective of the game is to be the first player to score 121 points.
Cribbage is played with a standard deck of 52 playing cards, a few pegs and a board with holes bored to accept the pegs for keeping score.
It is usually played with two players, but variations can have three or even four players.
The highest score that a player can get is 29.
Shown above is a 3 player board showing a set of cards that total 29
