Remmington Pirates - A Past Time: Cribbage

My mum has introduced me to the game Cribbage and we had to find out when it was born.



As of Wikipedia and some other sources:

"According to John Aubrey, cribbage was created by the English poet Sir John Suckling"

"in the early 17th century, as a derivation of the game "noddy". While noddy has disappeared, crib has survived, virtually unchanged, as one of the most popular games in theEnglish-speaking world.[1] 


"The objective of the game is to be the first player to score a target number of points, typically 61 or 121. Points are scored for card combinations that add up to fifteen, and for pairs, triples, quadruples, runs, and flushes."




So, some of my 17th century-born characters maybe found playing Cribbage at some point and time(s) throughout the series???
