A deck of cards! Noddy is a forerunner of the game cribbage. Noddy means a fool but in the case of the card game, it refers to the "Jack" of the first card turned up after dealing. The object of the game is to score points up to 21 points with pairs and runs providing points. The Ace is always low. Like in Cribbage, the player can score a point if two or more of their cards add up to exactly 15 points.
