## What is Tally?

Tally is the life counter for Commander, EDH and every duel, built for the kitchen table. Lay your phone in the middle, and every player reads their own life total, facing them.

PLAY, DON'T FIDDLE
Tap the left half of your seat to lose life, the right half to gain it. Hold for ten at a time. A small bubble shows the running change, so everyone sees what just happened.

2 TO 10 PLAYERS
Face to face for a duel, two a side for Commander, compact tiles for a big pod. Start at 20, 30, 40 or any custom total.

COMMANDER, COVERED
• Commander damage from each opponent, partners included, with 21 marked as lethal
• Optionally subtract commander damage from life automatically
• Poison, commander tax, storm, energy, experience, charge and custom counters
• Monarch, initiative and day/night trackers
• Turn counter with a turn clock and a game clock

AT THE TABLE
• High roll to decide who goes first
• Dice from d4 to d20 and coin flips, with recent results
• Card search with oracle text, legality and prices
• Life history with a chart and one-tap undo
• A game recap with the winner, knock-outs and how the game went
