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.
