Mau-Mau score sheet
Mau-Mau is a card game in which everyone tries to get rid of their cards first. A round is quick, so most groups play several and keep a running score. This sheet has a column for each of up to six players and a numbered row for each round.
How to keep the score
When a player lays down their last card, the round ends and that player writes a zero. Everyone else counts the cards still in their hand and writes the points on that round's row.
Groups count those cards in different ways. Some give each card its face value and more for the picture cards, others simply count one point per card. Settle it before the first deal and keep it for the whole game.
In Mau-Mau points are bad, so the lowest total wins. Agree on when to stop: after a fixed number of rounds, or as soon as one player passes a limit such as 100 points, which ends the game for the whole table.
When you stop, add up each column and write the sums in the Total row. If fifteen rows are not enough, carry the totals over to a second sheet.
