cribbage
Modern 120-hole cribbage board.
In cribbage, a player scores one point for "his nob" during the showing stage of the game.1
This point is awarded to the player who holds the jack of the same suit as the starter card (the card turned faceup after the cut). It is important to distinguish this from "two for his heels," which is the two points a dealer receives immediately if the starter card itself is a jack.123
