## What is House Rules?

House Rules is a scorekeeping app built for game night. Instead of one generic counter for every game,
House Rules gives each game its own custom-designed scorecard — with scoring rules, win conditions, and
stats tailored to the way you actually play.

FLEXIBLE SCOREKEEPERS FOR ANY GAME

Tally and Rounds are two versatile scorecards that work with any board game, card game, or competition.

Tally is a simple tap-to-score counter. Choose your increment (1, 2, 5, or 10), tap to add or subtract,
and set a target score to trigger automatic winner detection. Works great for quick games, pickup
matches, or anything where you just need a running total.

Rounds tracks scores round by round with cumulative totals that update as you go. Navigate between
rounds, review past entries, and let the app handle the math. Perfect for games with structured turns or
multi-round scoring.

Both Tally and Rounds include a built-in dice roller and game timer. The dice roller supports d4, d6,
d8, d10, d12, and d20 with animated rolls and automatic totals. The timer offers both stopwatch and
countdown modes with preset durations or custom times — no need to reach for a separate app.

CUSTOM SCORECARDS FOR POPULAR GAMES

Some games deserve more than a generic counter. House Rules includes purpose-built scorecards that
understand how each game is actually scored. No converting everything into plain numbers — each
scorecard speaks the language of the game.

Tap pig positions instead of typing point values. Track settlements, roads, and knights instead of a
single score. Enter card combos, count tricks by team, or follow round-by-round wild cards. Every
scorecard is designed around the mechanics of its game so you spend less time doing math and more time
playing.

Custom scorecards currently available for Pass the Pigs, Yahtzee, Farkle, Catan, Cribbage, Euchre, 5 Crowns, 
Phase 10, Play Nine, and Wingspan. New games are added regularly, and each one comes with its
own color theme, winner celebration screen, help guide, and a rules reference.

STATS AND LEADERBOARDS

Because someone has to keep track of this stuff.

Every completed game is saved automatically, building a history of every session, every score, and every
  win. House Rules tracks overall win/loss records, win rate percentages, and player rankings across all
your games. Visual charts show score trends and recent performance so you can spot who is on a hot
streak — or who needs to stop blaming the dice.

Sort leaderboards by total wins or win rate. View head-to-head records, game-by-game breakdowns, and
final scores from every session. Player profiles collect stats across all game types so you always know
who really holds bragging rights at the table.

Settle the debates. Pull up the stats.

UNLIMITED PLAYERS

Every user gets unlimited players with no caps or restrictions. Create player profiles once and reuse
them across all games. The app remembers your last group for each game type so setup takes seconds.
