February 10: Cribbage Day

International Cribbage Day is observed worldwide every February 10, celebrating the card game cribbage, which was invented by Sir John Suckling in the 1630s. The day commemorates Suckling's birthday and highlights the game's rich history, which traces back to the English card game noddy from the 16th century. On this day, organizations such as the American Cribbage Congress (ACC) and the UK Cribbage Association (UKCA) host demonstrations, workshops, and tournaments to promote the game among players of all ages. Participants can engage in these events or simply enjoy playing cribbage with friends and family. The game, known for its distinctive scoring board featuring pegs, requires strategic thinking and has become a popular pastime since being brought to the New World by English settlers.
