I see different versions of the rules of a game. 121.n, 121.X, etc. what do the letters mean? I’ve looked through the rules and other spots and can’t figure it out

Cribbage can be played in few different variations that are selected when a table is created.
Before joining someone else's table, please take a moment to review the table settings.
By default, all tables are set for standard 6 card cribbage.
An old English 5-card variation is indicated by (5). The game can be for 121 or 61 points.
'n' denotes the table option of showing played cards has been turned off.
'121 n' setting means hide played hands for 6 card cribbage, played cards not shown.
'121 (5)' setting means 5 card variation 121 pt
'X' means private invitation-only table.
'-R' means that the game is not rated

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
