## What is GameSlate?

GameSlate is the clean, private way to keep score on game night. Set up your regular players once, pick a game, and let GameSlate handle the maths — no more scraps of paper or arguments about the total.

TABLE MODE ON IPAD
Put your iPad in the middle of the table and let everyone see the score. Table Mode is a live tabletop dashboard: a shared scoreboard with a trophy on whoever's ahead, plus dice, a timer, a stopwatch, a round counter and a buzzer — all on screen at once. Three one-tap layouts (Scoreboard, Hub and Tools) switch without losing your place, a running timer keeps running, and "Who's First" settles who starts. When the game ends, Finish & Save drops it straight into your history and stats.

BUILT-IN SCORING FOR REAL GAMES
Guided, category-by-category calculators for:
• Wingspan
• 7 Wonders Duel
• Forest Shuffle
• Catan
• Azul
• Cascadia
• Skyjo
• Yahtzee
• Terraforming Mars
Plus flexible points or win/loss scoring for any other game you add — or build your own calculator with custom categories, rounds and win conditions.

SCORE IT ONCE, EVERYONE KEEPS IT
When the game ends, share the session with the other players: they scan a QR code from your screen — or open a shared file — and the game lands in their own history and stats. And when your stats are worth bragging about, turn them into polished shareable cards ready to post.

CAN'T DECIDE WHAT TO PLAY?
The game chooser picks something for you based on who's playing, how long you've got, and which games you own.

TABLE TOOLS FOR GAME NIGHT
A dice roller, first-player picker, countdown timer, buzzer, stopwatch and round counter — all built in.

KEEP TRACK OF EVERYTHING
• A reusable roster of players
• Automatic totals and a clear winner
• Rich logging: rounds, expansions, location and play time
