Tam101 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 For those that know Cribbage can you score this hand for me. 6c, 9c, 8c, 8d Starter 7d I came up with 28, but I'm not sure I'm counting the runs correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evergreen State Sue Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I came up with 16. 6x9 = 2 8cx7 = 2 8dx7 = 2 6,7,8c,9 = 4 6,7,8d,9 = 4 pair of 8's = 2 How did you get 28? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I think she counted 678 2 times 789 2 times for 12 more points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(If it IS the same suit, then you get the highest score possible of 29). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcurry Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 For those that know Cribbage can you score this hand for me. 6c, 9c, 8c, 8d Starter 7d I came up with 28, but I'm not sure I'm counting the runs correctly. I'm only counting 16, but it's been a while. The runs count like this: 6c, 7d, 8c, 9c = 4 points 6c, 7d, 8d, 9c = 4 points 8c, 8d = 2 points (So this run would count total 10 points instead of the usual 8 for the double run plus the pair). Your additional points for the 15's are: 6c, 9c = 2 points 8c, 7d = 2 points 8d, 7d = 2 points making a grand total of 16 points. I know it doesn't seem like a lot, since it really is a great hand. But the biggest hand possible is 29 points. It's a double *double* run that gets you the points- like if you would have had a 7c instead of a 6c in your hand. Then you get to count the run twice- like: 7c, 8c, 9c = 3pts 7c, 8d, 9c = 3pts 7d, 8c, 9c = 3pts 7d, 8d, 9c = 3pts plus your 2 pair for a total of 16 points, THEN add the 15's for an additional 8. You would have had 24 points in that case. I hope I'm counting correctly and that it wasn't too confusing or too much information. Hope that helped.

pooh bear Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 16 here as well. I am so pleased to see that people still play crib. My granddad taught me, and I have been teaching my ds. I'm a little rusty, but it is nice to be able to play again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years ago I was completely addicted to playing at Yahoo Games. I would play for hours (against real people). They were cut-throat over there!!! Hesitate for a few seconds and they'd get on you. But it was fun all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam101 Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 (edited) 16 here as well. I am so pleased to see that people still play crib. My granddad taught me, and I have been teaching my ds. I'm a little rusty, but it is nice to be able to play again. My sister taught me years ago and I'm teaching my son. We bought a 29 board at a garage sale last weekend. He has beat me every hand so far. :glare: That was his hand and he was going to score it at 4. :lol: I'm sticking with 28 unless someone can tell me you can't score the 3 and 4 runs! ;) Edited June 28, 2010 by Tam101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a little rusty, but it is nice to be able to play again. I also have great memories of cribbage with my Papa. :) I'd count the OPs hand as 16 as well. 3 sets of 15=6, two runs of 4=8, and a pair=2. I've never heard of counting a run of 4 as two runs of 3 as well. I'll have to remember that new rule next time I need a win. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all one run. Sorry! But at least this way you won't be so far behind your son! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teachin'Mine Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 A run of four - with one of the cards doubled - always counts for 10. (A run of three - with one of the cards doubled - always counts for 8.) With the 3 fifteens - score is 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I get 16 as well. I have never heard of being able to count your three runs as parts of four runs as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcurry Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 You definitely can't count both the 3 and the 4 runs. If it's a run of 4, you count it as such. A double run of 4 would get 2 more points than a double run of 3. It's in the official rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam101 Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 Ok, you all are right. :tongue_smilie: "Three cards of consecutive rank (irrespective of suit), such as ace-2-3, score 3 points for a run. A hand such as 6-7-7-8 contains two runs of 3 (as well as two fifteens and a pair) and so would score 12 altogether. A run of four cards, such as 9-10-J-Q scores 4 points (this is slightly illogical - you might expect it to score 6 because it contains two runs of 3, but it doesn't. The runs of 3 within it don't count - you just get 4), and a run of five cards scores 5." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlockOfSillies Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 6c, 9c, 15-2 8c, 8d, Starter 7d 15-4, 15-6 And a double run of 4 is 10 points (6-7-8-9 twice, and the pair for 2) So that's 16 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
