How Is It Wicked?
(And who the heck was Sir John Suckling?)
Sir John Suckling may (or may not) be the inventor of cribbage. (But he probably is.) Along our journey to create Wicked Cribbage, we became deeply interested in his story.
So we did what normal people do: read everything we could find about him, compiled those readings into a narrative, and spent 3 years learning to use animation software.
Please enjoy this totally true production of Sir John Suckling’s mostly untold story!
