International Cribbage Day – Feb. 10
International Cribbage Day is celebrated on February 10th every year. Cribbage is a popular card game that is believed to have been invented in the 17th century by Sir John Suckling, an English courtier, poet, and gamester. It is played with a deck of cards and a cribbage board, and it can be played with two or three players.
Cribbage is a game that combines luck and skill, making it a favorite among many card players. The game is played in multiple rounds, and the first player to reach 121 points (or sometimes 61 points) wins. Cribbage has a unique scoring system that includes pegging, or counting points during the game, and adding up points for card combinations at the end of each round.
International Cribbage Day is a day for cribbage enthusiasts around the world to celebrate the game and its history. It is a great opportunity for players to get together and play a few games, or to introduce new players to the game. Many local clubs and organizations also host cribbage tournaments and events on this day.
