  Decide what you want in a cribbage board. If it's easier for you to play with larger pieces, choose a larger board. Some of them have color on them and some are plain metal or wood or plastic. If you plan to travel with it, look for a cribbage set that comes in a travel bag or box and has more durable pieces. Cribbage boards can range from $10-$150, with the high end ones in beautiful materials for collectors. If you're a beginner, choose one that comes with an instruction manual. You will also need a deck of cards if you don't already have one at home.
