Comments on: How to Score in Cribbage

on 12/25/2009 Official rules? - can you peg out to win the game when you have 120 points with a "go" or last card? We have a disagreement, you can only win when you are at 120 points if you score two points during play or count your hand for 1 or more. Anyone know?

on 10/16/2009 All "4 of a kind" score 12, except for four 5's which score 20.

on 7/22/2008 I heard having a Jack same suit as the turnup card "one for his nob/s"... as in "his nobs" being a member of the nobility.
Can;t explain "two for his heels" that way though.

on 11/8/2007 four of a kind is only 12, because 3 of a kind is made up of 3 differant pairs @ 2 points each = 12, so 4 of a kind is made up of 6 differant pairs, ie all the pairs with diamonds in, eg. diamond with club, then diamond with heart, then diamond with spade, which only leaves 3 pairs which don't include diamonds, eg. spade with heart, spade with club then club with spade, simple? The mistake made to score it at 14 is when you split '4 of a kind' up firstly into 2 - '3 of kind's which will then actually use the the same pair twice, write it down and work it out. Unless there are 2 bonus points from somewhere.

on 9/9/2006 It's based on how many unique pairs' can be formed from the 4 cards, there are 6 unique pairs. 2 points per pair. This is also why 3 of a kind = 6 points, there are three unique pairs that can be made from 3 objects.

on 8/31/2006 Under Steps, item 2 you state if you have a King, Queen and two fives you score 8 -- I believe the correct score is 10.
You have a --

15 for 2
15 for 4
15 for 6
15 for 8
pair for 10

on 1/9/2008 Four of a kind scores 14 points not 12. I'm going to use four 3 as an example. The 3 of Hearts, 3 of Clubs and the 3 of Spades make 6 points. The 3 of Hearts, 3 of Clubs and the 3 of Diamonds make 6 points. The 3 of Diamonds and the 3 of Spades make 2 points. 6 points + 6 points + 2 points = 14 points
