I did a lot of searching on the “interwebs” last night and couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for, so I pieced things together and then added my own explanation to it and tada-a scoring guide for Cribbage. I’m fairly happy with it, but I may revise if I stumble upon other tricky to count hands. My Cribbage scoring guide. I hope you find it interesting or entertaining.

Some of you may remember that early in May I had two teeth removed. I managed to get some food caught under the bottom tooth and visited the oral surgeon’s office to handle that disgusting issue. One of the other possible delightful experiences was a sinus infection. I haven’t felt completely well since the teeth were removed. I attributed my miserableness to pollen and other allergens floating around. After tolerating the symptoms for two weeks I began to think that maybe it wasn’t just allergens. I still did not want to be one of those going to the doctor demanding antibiotics for something that wouldn’t react to it. Nor do I want the havoc that antibiotics play with my body, but I finally gave in on Wednesday and visited my local walk-in clinic. I was happy to find the staff helpful and friendly. I fortuitously discovered that they are also a normal doctor’s office, so I have decided to adopt them. I called around on Tuesday, but the only office I could find accepting patients is over a half hour away, and with today’s gas prices, 10 minutes was a nicer sounding distance. I’m not completely recovered, but I am starting to feel better. Granny brought me dinner tonight, she is soooo thoughtful. I invited her to play a few hands of Cribbage with me and we had one of those hands. I can’t remember what the cards were, but we had difficulty counting the hand. I went online quickly and couldn’t find the exact example we needed, but decided that it was worth 17 points. Granny has a coolie reference sheet for some of the difficult hands. I did some research after she left and am putting together a cheat-sheet for the game. As I compile the hands, I am attempting to understand the hands and why the score is what it is. I think I just about have it down, but I am going to continue to hunt up more. I’ll share my results when I am finished.
