Keep score for tricks, bids and winners across game nights — clean, fair, no paper required. TrickSheet is the digital notepad for the "tricks-and-bids" card game (also known as Wizard, Oh-Hell, Up-and-Down-the-River). Just enter each player's bid and actual tricks per round; the app handles the rest. — How it plays — • 2–6 players, classic 20-round format (1 to 10, then 10 to 1) • Choose your rules: classic or Wizard scoring, the Oh-Hell "bids can't add up" rule, and a custom number of rounds • Scoring is automatic • Live leaderboard with bid accuracy, streak counter and perfect-game badge • Score chart with player-specific point shapes — readable without color cues — After the game — • Fair stats sorted by average, not by how many sessions you showed up for • Tied players share a rank (1, 1, 1, 4 instead of 1, 2, 3, 4) • Rename players with automatic merging • Fix the last round — even after the game ends • Interrupted games resume right where you left off — AirPlay & TV — Turn on AirPlay and the game mirrors to the big screen: everyone sees the current bids, scores and the live progression while you tap on iPhone. Large text, clear colors, readable from the couch. — iCloud Backup — Game histories are encrypted and backed up to your private iCloud automatically (or stored locally if iCloud isn't available). When restoring, you can either merge or replace everything. — Accessibility — • VoiceOver: Rich labels everywhere • Voice Control: All buttons addressable by name • Larger Text: Fully scales with iOS Dynamic Type • Reduce Motion is honored • Symbols beyond color — Privacy — No accounts, no trackers, no ads. Your game data stays on your device or in your own iCloud. That's it.

Learn blackjack basic strategy and card counting, with the math behind each move. Play complete practice rounds and get feedback on every decision. Compare the expected value of hit, stand, double, split, and surrender, along with bust risk and win, push, and loss probabilities. Your progress measures the choices you make, so a lucky result does not count as a good decision. Set the number of decks, dealer soft-17 behavior, blackjack payout, surrender, doubling, and split rules. Save your own presets, consult a basic-strategy chart for the active rules, or build a hand in the solver. Pro unlocks Counting Lab and table themes. Main play, tutorials, and charts stay free. Counting Lab takes you from Hi-Lo card tags to running counts, full-deck countdowns, true counts, and index plays. Count opening hands across a table of up to five players. In Applied Counting, update the running count, convert it to a true count, and choose a play. Each drill states its rule assumptions and shows where you need more practice. Work through interactive lessons, take a mastery exam, or let Daily Coach choose a short review from your past mistakes. The Daily Challenge gives you a new set of decisions each day. Review weak spots in Progress and return directly to a focused drill. Challenge a friend with a hand and compare decisions after they answer. Practice offline on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. No ads or account required. This app is an educational strategy trainer: no real money is staked and no wagers are placed.
