Skull King’s Ledger

Skull King’s Ledger tracks your Skull King games, round after round. No more pen and paper, no mental math: at “Yo Ho Ho!”, enter everyone’s bid; once the round is played, their tricks and bonuses. The app does the math, by the rulebook. ADD THE PLAYERS From 2 to 8 players, as in the rules, in order around the table. Your regulars are one tap away. HOW MANY ROUNDS? The classic 10-round game, from 1 to 10 cards, or one of the rulebook’s voyages: Even Keel, Ready for Battle, Skirmish, Broadside, Whirlpool, Bedtime. Rascal scoring, with or without the Cannonball. Advanced cards as you like: Loot, Kraken, White Whale. WHO DEALS? The rulebook doesn’t say: the app draws the first dealer, cards shuffled and flipped. After that, the deal passes left, and the app reminds you who leads the first trick. BIDS, THEN TRICKS At “Yo Ho Ho!”, everyone’s bid, from 0 to the number of cards. Once the round is played, everyone’s tricks and bonuses: colored 14s, the black 14, mermaids captured by a pirate, pirates captured by the Skull King, the Skull King captured by a mermaid, loot. The app won’t accept what the deck can’t allow, counts Greybeard in two-player games, and details every calculation in the logbook. THE TABLE Who’s leading, everyone’s bid and total. “8 for 7 tricks”: the app tells you when at least one bid will fail. A wrong entry can be corrected at any time, bids included. THE GAME ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN Round, dealer, leader, totals and play time show on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, no unlocking needed. A CROWNED CAPTAIN A wax seal and a shower of doubloons for the winner, then the whole game’s score sheet, round by round. SHARE THE GAME One person keeps score; when the game ends, show the QR code or send the link. Crewmates who have the app add the game to theirs, no account needed: nothing goes through a server. Everyone says who they are, and the app recognizes the other players by name. Fixed a score? Share again and it updates on their side. SKULL KING’S LEDGER+ The all-time leaderboard (wins, bids made, average, bonuses, crew titles and table records) and a profile for every player (their rank, form, bids, bonuses, head-to-heads and records), received games included, are unlocked with a one-time purchase, no subscription, shared with your family.
