Cribbage: Thirty-One Does Not Also Earn One for Last
An exact thirty-one scores two for that ending. It does not also receive the ordinary one-point last-card award.
An exact thirty-one scores two for that ending. It does not also receive the ordinary one-point last-card award.
The total is twenty-seven and a four completes thirty-one. Record two for thirty-one. Adding another point merely because the four was last would count two alternative ending awards together.
Other genuinely formed combinations still need their own checks. The restriction concerns the last-card award, not a blanket prohibition on every additional scoring feature.
