Friday Night keeps the numbers for everyone at the table. One person runs the session and everybody else joins from their own phone. Life totals, poison, commander damage, energy, experience, dice rolls and coin flips all stay in sync, so nobody has to ask what anyone else is on. Prop an iPad in the middle of the table and it becomes a shared display the whole group can read at a glance. BOARDS THAT FIT HOW YOU PLAY Build a dashboard out of tiles and size them the way you want. Big life total, a row of small counters, a die you actually roll — drag them around, stretch them, and rotate individual tiles so the person across from you can read their own numbers right way up. Start from a ready-made board or make your own. A TABLE DISPLAY FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE GROUP Point a spare device at the table and everyone gets a shared scoreboard. Cards arrange themselves around the table and face the player they belong to. It works for people playing without the app too — the display keeps their life for them, and hands the seat over the moment they pick up a phone. PLAYING WITHOUT THE APP IS FINE Somebody's phone died, or they just don't want to install anything. Add them to the table display and they're in the game like everyone else. SEATS THAT SURVIVE A DEAD BATTERY If a phone drops out, that seat stays open and the same player can pick it back up on another device, with their board and totals exactly as they stood. DICE AND COIN FLIPS EVERYONE CAN SEE Roll on your own board and the result appears on every device at the table. No more taking someone's word for it. GAME NIGHT Record who won, keep standings across the whole night, and settle the prizes up front so nobody relitigates it at midnight. NO ACCOUNT, NO INTERNET Devices find each other directly over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Nothing leaves your table and there's nothing to sign up for. FREE, AND WHAT THE UNLOCK ADDS Joining is always free. Anyone can join a session as a player or set a device up as a table display for up to four seats, with three starter boards included. The one-time unlock adds hosting your own sessions, running the table as an Overseer, saving and reloading the boards you build, Edit & Playtest, every shipped template, and Game Night. One purchase, no subscription. Made by Tinker Labs — a family studio. We build the things we wanted at our own table.
