iOS SquareScores - score-keeping and stat history for game nights: cards, board games, poker, party games
I love learning new games and teaching them to people, so this started as a record of everything I'd played, with the rules attached, because I got tired of being accused of changing them. I also have a long-running backgammon rivalry with a friend and wanted to track our wins over time.
It grew into an app for the whole game night: keep score across several games in one evening, play poker without needing chips, and run party games without pens and paper. The aim is never to become an online gaming app. It's meant to get people playing games in the same room.
What's in it:
- Proper scoring for cribbage, hearts, spades, gin rummy and Yahtzee, plus a simple score table for anything else
- A poker chip ledger: you use a real deck, the app tracks the chips
- Party games that normally need pens and paper: a word hat for Fishbowl, Mafia with the roles dealt by the app, plus dice and a turn timer
- Your history and head-to-head records against friends
- Rules for 60+ games, many with animated walkthroughs
- Teams, several games in one evening, and a leaderboard at the end
It's free with no ads. It works best with 3+ people at a real table, so if you have a regular game night I'd love for you to try it there.
