INSTRUCTIONS
The Show: After all the cards have been played, each
player picks up his own cards from in front of him.
The non-dealer shows and scores his hand first, which gives
him an advantage if he is very near reaching 121. That start
is taken into the reckoning as part of each hand.
A card may be ranked for scoring in any number of different
combinations. Thus two 10s and two 5s would give a score
of eight points for fifteen plus four points for pairs-giving a
total of 12 points. The combination 4,4,5,6,6 scores eight
points for fifteen, four points for pairs, and 12 points for
sequences – giving a total of 24 points.
If a player holds a jack of the same suit as the start, he
scores “one for his mob.”
A flush of four cards in a hand scores four points. If the start
is of the same suit the player scores five points, but a flush
of four cards including the start scores nothing.
After the non-dealer has declared his score, the dealer
shows and scores his own hand. After which he shows and
also scores for the crib.
The crib is scored in the same way as the hand, except that
the only flush allowed is a five-card one.
Muggins: If a player overlooks a score, whether in his hand
or in play, his opponent may call “Muggins” and claim the
score for himself. (This rule may be dropped).
Lurch: If a player reaches 121 before his opponent is
halfway around the board he scores a lurch and counts two
games instead of one.
Errors: If an error in dealing is noticed during the deal, there
should be a re-deal.
If an error in dealing is found after play has started, the non-
dealer scores two points and the error is rectified either by a
re-deal or by drawing additional cards from the stack.
If after “Go” is called a player fails to play his additional
cards, he may not subsequently play those cards and his
opponent scores two points. Errors in counting during play
are not penalized.
