Caboose keeps score for Mexican Train dominoes — and counts the pips left in your hand from a photo. At the end of every round, everyone adds up the dots on the tiles they're still holding. Caboose does that part for you: lay your tiles face up on the table, take one photo, and it counts the pips on your phone, drawing a ring round every one it found so you can check it. The number is always yours to correct before it goes on the card. Or just type it. FEATURES • Count a hand from a photo — on your device, no network, the photo never kept • Your hand drawn back as tiles, kept with the score • Type a score, or tap Went Out for a zero • Double nine, double twelve and double fifteen sets • A full game from the highest double down to 0|0, or a shorter one: pick the number of rounds • The round's engine drawn at the centre of the table, with a line for every train • A scoreboard with every round, where any earlier score can be corrected • The lowest total wins; ties share a place • Every game kept: pick one back up from History, or see who wins most in Stats • Name a game and where you're playing, and find it by name in History • Game Details: the players, their totals, and a name to fix • A player can leave mid-game, and rejoin until a round is played without them • Up to eight players, in the order you play • Light and dark, or follow your iPhone • English, Spanish and French No account, no ads, no tracking. Every feature is free; the optional tip in Settings unlocks nothing. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
