NOTES ON SCORING
Players often used Cribbage boards to keep score for these games, and so points were issued differently. When earning points for sums in All Fives, the sum would be divided by 5. A sum of 5 earns 1 point, 10 earns 2 points, and so on. When determining the score at the end of the round, take the pip total and round it to the nearest five, then divide by five. For example, a score of 27 is rounded to 25 then divided by 5. The player.
The same can be done for All Threes. 3 = 1 point, 6 = 2 points, 9 = 3 points and so on. Divide the final score for the round by three to determine points.
Again, the same can be done for Fives and Three. When a score is both a multiple of five and three, you divide the total then add. So, 15 points would be 3 points for the multiple of 5, and 5 points for the multiple of 3. This gives the player 8 points.
Unless you are using a cribbage board to keep score, this method is unnecessary.
PLAYING WITH MORE THAN TWO PLAYERS
If playing any of these games with 3 or 4 players, simply have each player draw 7 tiles and follow all of the same rules. In a four player game, there will be no boneyard. These games can be enjoyed 2v2 as well. Determine which player from each partnership will keep track of their team's points. The player with the lowest pip total wins the blocked round for their team.
