Does a quadruple pegged after a "go" count for 12 points? My neighbor and I had this unusual situation and we're not sure if we scored it correctly.

Player A led with a 10. Player B played a 5 and pegged two points for the 15 combo. Player A played a 5 and pegged two points for the pair (20 cumulative pts.). Player B played another 5 and pegged six points for the three of a kind (25 cumulative pts.).

So far so good. The next part is where we're confused. Player A then called "go." Player B played the fourth 5 and pegged 12 points for the quadruple, plus a point for the "go."

Is that correct? Does player B get six points for the three of a kind then an additional 12 for the quadruple? Is that a kind of double counting?

Thanks, David

  • Yes: the "go" isn't a go until neither player can play another card to the current running count.

As I understand it (and as I've seen it scored in two different online Cribbage game sites) whatever score is due from cards played after "Go" is scored in addition to anything scored with the card that prompted the "Go".

Got a 4-run totaling 27, and a "Go"? If you can play the fifth card in the run, you get the 5, plus either one for last card or two for 31 (as appropriate). Same for 3 and 4 of a kind.
