The next player can play a card, or if they cannot play one that's 31 or less, they announces 'Go' and the first player takes one pegging point. If a player cannot play a card that is 31 or less the say 'Go'. This process continues until the total of all the combined cards is 31 or less.ĭuring the pegging round, a player get two points for getting a combined card total of 15 and/or 31. So if the pone plays a King and the dealer plays a 7, the dealer says 'seventeen'. Play alternates with the dealer playing a card next and announcing the numeric value of the combined cards. So if a player lays down a King the say 'ten'.
Face cards (jack, queen king) count as 10 and Aces count as 1. The player says (out loud) the card's numeric value. After the deal the pegging round begins with the player opposite the dealer (pone) playing a card face up.
