When playing Little Wolf using partners, scores are tallied per team and not per player.

Accumulating a Pack holds a value of One point to the Declarer’s Team at the end of the Round. The Pack must be accumulated by the Declarer. Any Tricks won by the Declarer’s partner are not counted as part of the Pack.

Accumulating the most cards when no player Declares holds a value of minus One point and is deducted from that player’s team score at the end of the Round. If multiple players have accumulated the most cards, each of those players is penalized One point from their team score. If a player’s team has Zero points tallied on the score board, no penalty is applied to that team.

A team accumulating all of the Tricks when no player Declares holds a value of minus Two points and is deducted from that team’s score at the end of the Round. If that team has Zero points tallied on the score board, no penalty is applied.

If the Declarer does not accumulate a Pack, Two points are added to the point total of the team that has accumulated the most cards at the end of the Round, excluding the Declarer’s team. If multiple teams have accumulated the most cards, One point is added to the point total of each team that has accumulated the most cards at the end of the Round, excluding the Declarer’s team.

If the Dealer Declares and accumulates a Pack, and the Declarer’s team accumulates all of the Tricks, Two points are awarded for the Round, One point for the Pack, and One additional point for winning all of the Tricks.

If any player other than the Dealer Declares, One point is awarded for a Pack, but no additional point is awarded if the Declarer’s team wins all of the Tricks.

If the Declarer accumulates a Pack and the Declarer’s team accumulates all of the cards, but fail to win the final Trick of the Round, a Pack holds a value of Zero points.

If a Dealer Declares, and any other team takes all of the Tricks, that team scores an additional bonus of One point, for a total of Three points.
