About

TableMate

Features
Read full description

TableMate is the one box of tools your game nights were missing: a lightning-fast scorekeeper, live standings your friends can watch from their own phones, and a drawer full of little helpers (dice, timers, buzzers) so the games stay on the table and the phone stays out of the way. KEEP SCORE, FAST One number per player, one tap to confirm. The keyboard is already up, the next player already waiting. Mistyped a score? Tap it and fix it. Every round saves itself, so you can put the phone down mid-game and pick the sheet back up next week. • Target score, your way: play to a score where the first to reach it wins, or the reverse, where reaching it ends the game and the LOWEST total wins (for card games like Skyjo) • Round-by-round history and a score evolution chart • A winner card ready to share when the night has a champion FRIENDS WATCH LIVE Start sharing and a QR code appears. Anyone at the table scans it and follows the live standings in their own browser. No app to install, no account to create. The room survives "play again", so spectators roll into the next game automatically. YOUR GAME NIGHTS, REMEMBERED Every finished game lands in the Journal on its own: a heatmap of your year, most played, most won, and "The rivalry", the head-to-head between the two players who share your table most often. Log board-game nights by hand too, scores or no scores. YOUR SHELF, SORTED Keep your collection in the Games tab with covers, and find any board game in seconds. BGG SYNC Bring your BoardGameGeek side along: type your username and your whole collection walks in, covers included. Plays sync too: import your BGG history straight into the Journal, and publish new plays back to your account whenever you choose. A FULL TOOLBOX • First Player: everyone puts a finger on the screen, TableMate picks • Team Randomizer: same arena, deals fingers into teams • Dice Roller: d4 to d20 and a coin, shake to roll • Turn Timer: countdown or chess clock • Party Buzzer: phones become buzzers, straight from the browser • Banker: money without the paper money • Tally Counter, Spinner, Turn Order, and a Caller for bingo-style games HOMEY BY DESIGN Warm linen, parchment cards, chunky numbers. Like a well-loved score pad slipped inside the game box, not another glowing tech product. Free. No ads. No account. Ready for tonight.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TableMate at none against Scores's 1. TableMate also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). Scores's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price there is nothing between them.
