Dating back to the 17th century in England, cribbage is a card game which uses a special wooden board and pegs to keep score. Two players use playing cards to reach certain point levels, and move their pegs across the board points are scored. Extremely popular as a pub game in Britain and on US naval ships, cribbage rules were first published in 1662.
