Card game score sheet

Many card games are scored the same way: several rounds, one number per player in each, and a total at the end. This general sheet fits those games when there is no special sheet for them. It has a column for each of up to six players and fifteen numbered rows.

How to keep the score

Give each player a column. After every round, write each player's points on that round's row, even when they scored nothing, so you can see later that the row is complete. Write a loss with a minus sign.

Before you start, agree on two things. First, whether the highest or the lowest total wins: in some games points are good, in others they are a penalty. Second, when the game ends: after a fixed number of rounds, or when the first player reaches a target score.

When the game ends, add up each column and write the result in the Total row. If you need more than fifteen rounds, carry the totals over to a second sheet.
