Costly colours (1674)

This game is closely related to Cribbage. It is played with a standard deck of cards. Players are dealt 3 cards, and then alternately play a card, scoring points for hitting certain totals, or for making sets or sequences. This is repeated until they cannot play any more cards without overshooting 31 or they have no cards in their hand. Once all players are out of cards, each player picks up his hand and determines all possible scoring combinations. Then the cards are shuffled, the deal alternates, and the process is repeated. The winner is the first person to achieve 121 or more points. 4 players can play in partnerships.
