Printable 5 Crowns Score Sheet PDF: Free Download Options and DIY

There is no official free 5 Crowns score sheet PDF from the publisher that we could find as of October 2026, but you don’t need one: a working sheet is just player names across the top, 11 rows for rounds (3s wild through Kings wild), and a running total. Below you’ll find a copy-ready layout, the quickest ways to turn it into a PDF, and the official scoring values so you fill it in correctly.

What a good Five Crowns score sheet needs

Five Crowns is a rummy-style game played over a fixed number of hands, so the sheet layout follows directly from the rules. According to Wikipedia and the official SET Enterprises instructions:

• The game runs 11 rounds. Round one deals 3 cards, and each round deals one more card, ending with 13 cards.
• The wild card matches the number of cards dealt: 3s are wild in round one, 4s in round two, and so on up to Jacks (11), Queens (12) and Kings (13). Jokers are always wild.
• Lowest total wins, so you track points against each player, not points earned.

That gives you a grid of 11 rows. Labelling each row with its wild card is the single most useful thing a score sheet can do, because “which card is wild this round?” is the most common question at the table.

PlayMonster’s own product listing (via the Asmodee Canada shop) describes the same progression: “The game begins with three cards and 3s are wild, the next round has four cards and 4s are wild, and so on ‘til the Kings go wild!”

Copy-ready score sheet layout

Here is a layout you can rebuild in any spreadsheet or document. Add or remove player columns to match your group; the official instructions list the game for up to 7 players (sources differ on the minimum, with Wikipedia saying 1 to 7 and the SET instructions saying 2 to 7).

A couple of practical tweaks make the sheet easier to use:

• Split each player cell into “round” and “running total” if your group likes to see standings as you go. It also makes arithmetic mistakes easier to spot.
• Add a “Dealer” column so nobody argues about whose turn it is to deal.
• Print the card values (see the table further down) in a small box at the bottom of the page.

How to make your own printable PDF

You can turn the layout above into a PDF with tools you probably already have. These are standard features of each app; menus may be worded slightly differently depending on your version.

Option 1: Google Sheets

1. Open a new spreadsheet in Google Sheets.
2. Type the headers from the table above in row 1, then fill rows 2 to 12 with the round numbers, cards dealt and wild cards.
3. In the Total row, use a =SUM() formula for each player column if you plan to score on a laptop or tablet.
4. Add borders to the grid and make the rows tall enough to write in by hand.
5. Choose File > Download > PDF, pick landscape if you have more than four players, and print.

Option 2: Microsoft Word or Google Docs

1. Insert a table with 13 rows (header, 11 rounds, total) and as many columns as you need.
2. Fill in the round, cards dealt and wild card columns.
3. Increase row height so handwriting fits.
4. Export or “Save as PDF”, or print directly.

Option 3: Fit several games on one page

If you play often, shrink the grid and place two copies on one landscape page, then cut it in half. You’ll get two games per sheet of paper.

Which option fits your table

A word of caution about “free download” results

When we searched this phrase, many of the top results for “5 Crowns score sheet PDF” were pages sitting on unrelated domains, such as subdomains of universities and government agencies, rather than on game or publisher sites. Pages like that are often scraped or spammy, and their contents can’t be trusted. Some of the rule summaries we saw on them also contradicted the official instructions, for example by listing face cards at 10 points.

If you do want a ready-made sheet from someone else, stick to sites you recognise, check that the scoring printed on it matches the official values below, and avoid anything that asks you to install software or sign in to get the file. Making your own is quicker and safer.

Official scoring values to fill in the sheet

The scoring is where homemade and third-party sheets most often go wrong. These values come from the official SET Enterprises instructions, and match Wikipedia and the Workshop Plus rules page:

How a round is scored

1. A player goes out by arranging their whole hand into books (same rank) and runs (same suit, in sequence), with one card left over to discard.
2. Every other player gets one more turn to lay down whatever books and runs they can and discard, as described by Geeky Hobbies and the official rules.
3. The player who went out writes 0 for the round.
4. Everyone else adds up the cards still in their hand using the table above and writes that number in their cell.
5. After round 11 (Kings wild), the lowest total wins.

Wikipedia notes that ties can either be shared or settled with an extra tiebreak hand; check with your group before you start so the bottom row of your sheet doesn’t cause an argument.

About the game and its publisher

Five Crowns was created by SET Enterprises and first published in 1996, according to Wikipedia. The current edition is sold under the PlayMonster brand. The deck is a 116-card double deck with five suits (stars, hearts, clubs, spades and diamonds), each running 3 through King, plus six Jokers. Knowing there are only 11 ranks per suit is handy when you’re labelling rows, because it’s why the game has exactly 11 rounds.

Rules and packaging can change between printings, so if your copy’s rules sheet differs from anything here, go with the rules in your box.
