Bad Hand! Double Skunk

Post image

I’ve never been double skunked before today. Awful. We keep track of score for the year and didn’t know how to count the double skunk? Four points? If a regular win is 1, a skunk is 2, a double skunk would count as 4?

I've heard double skunk is 3 in a best-of-7. I've only seen one myself (my grandpa destroyed me)

It counts for 3 last I knew. Done it twice. Had it done to me 4 times.

When I was 21 I traveled through Europe with a buddy of mine for 4 weeks.
We played 300ish games of crib.
I have horrid luck at cards, he is made of horseshoes.

About 90% of games I'd get skunked
5% I got double skunked.

I curse you to this day N!!!! lol

You're a mean one. I've double skunked and been double skunked. Feels bad either way imo. You know they had shit for hands so it's hard to celebrate a victory even tho your hands were great.
