No. Reaching exactly 31 scores 2 points, and that replaces the 1-point go — you never get both. The count then resets to zero for the next round of play.
Hitting 31 exactly is worth 2 points. Because the count can’t go any higher, nobody can play on, so there’s no separate go to award — the 2 for 31 is the whole bonus for ending the count.
Other points can still stack on the same card. If the card that makes 31 also forms a pair or a run with the cards just before it, those score too. After 10, 7, 7 (count 24), laying the third 7 makes 31 and three of a kind: 2 for the 31 plus 6 for the pair royal, 8 points in one card.
Runs stack with the 31 in the same way. After 2, 9, J (count 21), laying the 10 makes 31 and completes the run 9-10-J, which can be played in any order: 2 for the 31 plus 3 for the run, 5 points in one card.
31 or the go?
- Exactly 31: 2 points, and no go on top.
- Stuck at 30, or anything below 31: nobody can add a card, so the player who played last scores only the 1-point go.
Either way the count restarts at zero, and the player who did not lay the last card leads the next count. So reaching exactly 31 is worth steering for, since it pays double the go. For how a go works and who gets the point, see how “go” works in cribbage.
Pairs and runs have to be laid consecutively to count — see how pairs score during pegging. All the scores in one place are in the cribbage scoring and strategy guide.
