Rummy Score Sheet

When a player goes out, everyone else counts the cards left in their hand: face cards are 10, number cards are worth their number and aces are 1 (or 15 in games where aces can be high). The player who went out scores the total of everyone else’s cards. Write it in that player’s column for the round and leave the others blank or 0.

Agree on a target before you start, often 100 or 500 points, and enter it as “Play to” on the scorer: the total turns green when someone reaches it.

• Penalty scoring: instead of the winner scoring, each other player writes down the points left in their own hand. Play to 100; the lowest total wins.
• Going rummy: if a player goes out in one turn without having melded before, the hand counts double (or earns a 10-point bonus, depending on house rules).
• 500 rum: each player scores the cards they melded minus the cards left in their hand, and the game is played to 500.

The sheet works for all of these: one column per player, one line per round.

Any card or dice game that adds points round by round fits this sheet, from hearts to family games of your own. For two-player gin rummy, with its knock, gin and box bonuses, use our gin rummy score sheet instead.
