What's New in Skull Keeper

1.3

October 12, 2023

Ahoy! Skull Keeper has a new update with these fixes: - The 'Skull King captured by a Mermaid' bonus changed from 50 to 40 points (as described in the 2021 Skull King rulebook). - The 'Mermaids captured by a Pirate' bonus has been added, awarding 20 points per mermaid captured. Remember to take a look at the Help section and the Cheat Sheet if you have some questions about the app features. Keep playing Skull King with the help of Skull Keeper and YO-HO-HO!!!

Not bad, but needs an update!

I love using the app because it's way better than scoring the game by hand. It should however accommodate the versatility of round order like going from round 10 backwards to round 1 or even/odd rounds only. Also with the new expansion pack, I would like to see the new cards added as options in the scoring.

Saves me from doing math & writing

Great app, grateful to keep score of the game while we play. I just got the extended version and was curious if they’re going to add the new features to the app?

Great! But……….

Overall the app great. I like that it includes the bonus point unlike other apps. BUT…..please add a back button to see previous rounds. I have entered scores incorrectly and then I am unable to fix it.

Love the app

My biggest struggle is remembering how many points you get for capturing mermaids, pirates etc… love the app takes all the math out of it . The app needs an update to include loot in the bonus calculator
GUGreat app, needs update

Very good, one small improvement needed

It could auto-fill the “won bets” for players with zero wins once you type the # of wins for the winner players.
