Scoring used in online Rikiki
- Bid made (you won exactly your bid): 4 points + 4 points per trick won.
- Bid missed: −2 points per trick of difference between your bid and your result, whether you won too many or too few.
Examples
- You bid 2 and win 2: 4 + 2 × 4 = 12 points.
- You bid 0 and win 0: 4 points.
- You bid 2 and win 3: one trick off, so −2 points.
- You bid 3 and win 0: three tricks off, so −6 points.
This is the app's default scoring and the host can change it before the game starts. Other scoring systems exist: for example 10 points plus 1 per trick when you make your bid, and nothing when you miss. Agree on one before you start.

Write each player's name at the top. For every round, write the Bid, the Tricks won and the round Pts. The number of rounds depends on the number of players: you deal from 1 card up as long as the 52-card deck is enough (for example 13 rounds with 4 players).
