## What is Tally Ho for Game Night?

Tally Ho is a score keeper for the board games and card games you play in person — in a basement, at a cabin, on the one phone that still has battery. No pencil, no torn-off scrap of paper, no arguing about whose column was whose.

GAMES THAT SCORE THEMSELVES

Every game has its rules built in. You enter what happened at the table and Tally Ho does the math: wild cards, penalties, bonuses and target scores are all handled for you.

• Qwixx: cross off numbers, lock rows and dodge penalties (2–5 players)
• Five Crowns: eleven rounds with a new wild card each round, and the lowest score wins (2–7)
• Cribbage: count each hand as you go on the way to 121, with skunks tracked (2–3)
• Spades: bid your tricks, make your contract and watch your bags until one team reaches 500 (4)
• Crokinole: score each round by the board's rings and play to the target (2–4)
• Dutch Blitz: race to empty your Blitz pile and play to a target score (2–4)
• The Initials Game: every answer shares the same initials, and whoever wins the most cards wins (2–20)

BRING YOUR OWN GAME

Play something the app has never heard of? Make a custom game in about ten seconds: name it, say whether high or low score wins, set a target, allow negatives if you need them. It gets its own scorepad, its own history and its own stats, exactly like the built-in ones.

BUILT FOR A ROOM, NOT A NETWORK

• Plays with no signal. The scorepad works fully offline. Start a game, play it out, finish it — everything syncs when you are back on wifi, and nothing is lost if you never are.
• One phone or five. Pass a single phone around the table, or let everyone scan in and keep their own column. You do not have to decide up front.
• Join by pointing a camera. The host shows a QR code, everyone else scans it. No codes read out across the table, nobody to look up, no invitations to accept.
• Guests get a column. Somebody at the table without the app still plays — type their name and deal them in.

SETTLE IT

Stuck on a rule mid-hand? Ask the judge. Describe what happened and it rules by the book for the game you are playing, so the night keeps moving instead of turning into a search for the rulebook nobody kept.

EVERY GAME NIGHT ADDS UP

• Finished games go into a history you can scroll back through.
• Records are kept per game — games played, wins, average score, average margin — because being good at Qwixx says nothing about your cribbage.
• The details that get brought up later get counted too, like cribbage skunks dealt and skunks taken.
• Make a friend group for the people you always play with, and the games you invent for that table show up in everyone's list.

FREE, AND NOT WATCHING YOU

Tally Ho is free. No ads. No analytics. No tracking of any kind — there is no third-party SDK in this app whose job is to watch you, and nothing you do at the table is measured, profiled, or sold. If you play it enough to feel like paying for it, there is a tip jar. It unlocks nothing, because everything is already unlocked. That is the whole business model.

Bring it to the table. Tally Ho keeps the score, so you can play the game.

Tally Ho is an unofficial companion scorepad. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the publishers of the games it scores, and every game name and trademark belongs to its respective owner.
