Keep score without hunting for a spare d20. Set your phone or iPad flat on the table and every player's total faces the right way around. Tap the right half of a tile to go up, the left half to go down, or hold to run the number quickly. The player sitting opposite reads their own total right side up, so there is no passing the device around and no arithmetic in your head. SEATING THAT MATCHES YOUR TABLE - One, two, three or four seats - Every tile rotates to face the player sitting there - Name each seat and pick from eight colors A SECOND COUNTER, YOUR CHOICE Track commander damage, poison, energy, wins, experience or storm alongside life. Tap the badge on a tile to switch that tile over to the second counter; it slips back to life totals on its own a few seconds later. A DICE BAG IN YOUR POCKET - D4, D6, D8, D10, D12 and D20 - A coin flip for when that is all you need - A custom die of any size up to a thousand - One die per seat, thrown together, with tied results re-rolled automatically NOTHING GETS LOST - Every life and counter change is written to a history you can scroll back through - Swipe a line away and the total goes back to what it was, a real undo - A running game clock you can pause or reset with a tap - The screen stays awake while you play SET IT UP ONCE Choose a starting total of 20, 30, 40 or 50, or dial in any number you like. Turn the second counter off if you do not need it. Switch to a black background for dark tables. Hold-to-repeat speed, two-finger swings and tie re-rolls are all yours to set, and everything is remembered between games. SIRI AND SHORTCUTS Ask Siri to roll the dice, start a new game, reset the counters or show the history. Works on iPhone and iPad. No account, no ads, no tracking and no internet connection needed.
