WHAT PEGWISE DOES - Tracks scores for 2, 3, or 4 players on one device - A classic S-curve board with smooth, legible progress to 121 - Tap + to score, hold to score fast - Custom player names and colors, saved between sessions - Works completely offline, no account or internet needed WHAT PEGWISE DOESN'T DO - It doesn't deal cards - It doesn't count your hands - It doesn't play for you You still play with a real deck.

A one-time $1.99 in-app purchase removes the banner for good. Your game data never leaves your device. Made by Wandering Jetstream LLC.
