If you're looking for the card game Oh Hell! then this is the app for you! It's got a powerful AI so you'll never have an easy game (I write AIs for a living!) and a huge range of customisable rule options to suit however you've traditionally played the game yourself. The AI players even have emotions and get happy and sad when they think they're going to make their bid or not. You can also play against your friends on their own devices over local WiFi or Bluetooth. For newcomers to the game, Niggle (also known as "Oh Hell") is an easy to learn card game in which you must try to guess how many tricks you are going to win each round. The fun comes from trying to get exactly the number of wins you guessed while stopping your opponents from achieving their target.

About

Oh Hell Score Sheet

Features
Read full description

Boerenbridge is won or lost on the bidding. This keeps the score sheet so you can watch the table instead of the arithmetic. Every round, each player says how many tricks they think they will take. Enter the bids, enter what they actually took, and the app scores it: ten points plus a few per trick when a bid comes off exactly, a penalty for every trick missed. The points per trick are yours to set — house rules differ and the app does not argue. The dealer rule is enforced. Bids may not add up to the number of tricks in the round, so somebody always goes down. If the totals line up, the round will not save until a bid changes. • One tap per bid and per trick count — no counters to hold down • The running scores stay on screen while you enter the round • A full score sheet, every round, with the leader's column marked • Drag the sheet up to read the history, down to get room to enter • The deal climbs from one card to as many as the table takes, and back down • Turn a trump card or deal the whole deck — your table's rule, per game • Notes on a game, for whatever needs remembering afterwards • Everything stays on your device. No account, no server, no tracking Free games deal up to three cards a round, which is enough to learn the app. One payment unlocks the full ladder for good — no subscription.
