## What is Pointster?

Pointster is a score counter and scorekeeper for board games, card games and dice games. Replace pen and paper with a score sheet that adds everything up for you — offline, at the table, no account needed. And now everyone at the table can keep score on their own phone: share the scoreboard over Bluetooth and it stays in sync for the whole group.

Over 120 games ready to play — Skyjo, 6 nimmt!, Mölkky, Trio, Scrabble, chess, go, backgammon, poker, rummy, darts, dominoes, pétanque and more, each with its real rules built in: Skyjo ends at 100 and lowest score wins, Mölkky needs exactly 50 and drops you to 25 if you overshoot. Card games, dice games, sports, party games. And because you define the rules yourself, Pointster still fits the game you invented last Saturday.

A RULES ENGINE, NOT JUST A TALLY
Most score apps just add numbers. Pointster understands how your game is won:
- Win conditions: highest score, lowest score, race to a target, exact score with overshoot penalty, or simple win tracking for games without points
- Solo, free-for-all, or team play with shared team scores
- Penalties, bonuses, negative and decimal points
- Custom attributes to track anything beyond the score — goals, fouls, lives, whatever your game counts
- Player elimination, add players mid-game, undo any round
- Unlimited players and unlimited saved games

ONE SCOREBOARD, EVERY PHONE
No more passing the phone around. Share your game over Bluetooth and everyone at the table plays on the same scoreboard from their own device:
- Anyone can enter scores — every phone updates live
- The host's device keeps the game: that's where it's saved, with the stats and history
- No Wi-Fi, no mobile data, no account, no room code to type in
- Just people in the same room, which is where board games happen anyway
- Made for long games, big groups, and tables where the phone never comes back

MORE THAN A SCOREBOARD
- Game catalog: pick a game and start, or save your own setups as templates for next time
- Player stats and history: win rates, score trends, head-to-head records for every player and game
- Achievements and levels that make every game night part of a longer story
- An interactive mascot with three personalities reacting to the action
- Photo memories: capture game night and keep it with the final score

TOOLS ON THE TABLE
- Built-in dice roller — no dice, no problem
- Built-in timer to replace the hourglass in speed games
- Reorder players, sort by score, or shuffle who goes first
- Pause any game and resume it days later

MADE TO BE TRUSTED
- Works fully offline — cabins, campsites, trains, cellar game bars. Shared scoreboards run on Bluetooth alone, no connection required.
- Backup and transfer your data between devices
- Privacy-first: your game data is yours

Built by a solo developer who plays. Feature requests genuinely shape the roadmap — the fastest way to get something added is to ask.
