Barbu Scoring Spreadsheet

This page contains an Excel spreadsheet for calculating scores in the card game Barbu. Scoring gets a little complicated because the game includes side bets between the players over their scores for each hand. The sheet was created by Stacey and Andy Olstad.

This is the Barbu scoring spreadsheet

For the curious, here are the rules for Barbu. The spreadsheet should work for any variation with 7 hands per declarer, and can be easily modified for other numbers of hands. It calculates point sums for each hand and each declarer so that the user can verify scoring correctness, but does not dictate any particular set of point values.
