It is played all over the world with many tournaments live and online via the ACC website cribbage.org and also with Game Colony they have free tournaments all the time. If you ever come to the states, there are clubs in almost every state.

It seems to me that cribbage is played more in anglo-saxon regions. Of course, there are exceptions e.g. Quebec. This is based on my non scientific observations. On this platform, players are mostly from US, Canada, UK, Australia and NZ, again based on my ohservations.

Cribbage is also the official game of the US Navy Submarine Force. A cribbage board is in the wardroom of the oldest attack submarine in service. The board then passes down to the next oldest when that submarine gets retired. The board is in honor of Lt. Dick O'Kane (a WWII Medal of Honor recipient and POW)
