Do you score a go and 31 together in cribbage?

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.

Pairs and runs have to be laid consecutively to count — see how pairs score during pegging.
