How Tongits rounds are scored
A Tongits round ends in one of three ways: a player lays down every card (a "tongits"), a player calls a draw and has the lowest hand, or the deck runs out and the lowest hand wins. The score keeper uses the simple system many tables play: every loser gives the winner a set number of points, a tongits win is worth extra, and a "burned" player, one who never laid down a meld, gives extra too.
With the default settings (1 point per loser, +2 extra for a tongits so it pays 3 in total, and +1 from a burned player), a tongits win against one burned and one unburned opponent scores the winner 3 + 4 = 7 points. Bonuses such as aces or a hidden four of a kind go in the "Other bonuses" box for that round. Our guide to Tongits house rules explains the common values and the rules to agree before you play. Full rules are in our guide on how to play Tongits.
How Pusoy Dos rounds are scored
The most common method charges every losing player one point for each card still in their hand when someone goes out, with two penalty tiers on top:
| Cards left | Points given to the winner | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 9 | 1 per card | 4 cards = 4 points |
| 10 to 12 | Double | 11 cards = 22 points |
| All 13 (never played) | Triple (some tables quadruple) | 13 cards = 39 points |
You can switch off the double tier or change the 13-card multiplier in the scoring rules. For card ranking and strategy, see how to play Pusoy Dos.
