About

Keep score for the whole table on one iPhone or iPad. Save your players, pick a game and enter the results after each hand. Totals, bonuses and penalties are handled for you.

13 scorecards included: • Screw Your Neighbour — bids, tricks, trump and dealer rotation. • Mexican Train — running totals from double 12 down to blanks. • Shut the Box — scores for each round and the running total. • Yaniv — hand totals and configurable penalties. • Yahtzee — all categories, bonuses and extra Yahtzees. • Wizard — bids, tricks and scoring for each hand. • Hearts — penalty points and shooting the moon. • Spades — team bids, bags and nil bids. • Gin Rummy — deadwood, knocks and gin bonuses. • Euchre — team scores, lone hands and euchres. • Zombie Dice — brains scored each turn. • Five Crowns — 11 hands, changing wild cards and remaining-card totals. • Simple Score — a flexible scorecard for your other games.

Improved scoring layouts for iPhone Duo, with score entry and the scorecard arranged around the display fold when space allows.

A photo can help count domino pips or read dice. Review the count, correct it if needed and add it to the scorecard. Resume unfinished games and fix earlier scores without redoing the maths.

Try one complete game free. One purchase unlocks all 13 scorecards and unlimited games. No subscription. Works offline.
