Every listed combination was verified as well.SCORING CONVENTIONS USEDStandard show scoring: fifteens 2 points each, pairs 2 each, runs with double and triple runs counted, 4-card hand flush (5 with the starter), and his nobs. Aces are low. The starter jack ("his heels") is not counted, and crib hands are not included. All conventions are stated in the book.GOOD FOR- New players who freeze up when it is time to count.- Club and family players who want speed and confidence before game night.- A stocking-stuffer-style gift for the cribbage player in your life.
