Cribbage, or Crib, is a card game traditionally for two players, but commonly played with three, four, or more. The cribbage board is used for score-keeping.

Cribbage was created in early 17th century England as a derivation of the game Noddy. While Noddy has disappeared, Cribbage has survived, virtually unchanged, as one of the most popular games in the English-speaking world. Cribbage holds a special place among American submariners, serving as an "official" pastime.
