Smart scorepad that understands the rulebook — every round, every rule, every expansion, and all the fiddly bits in between. Take Dominion. BoardGamePad asks which ten Kingdom cards were on the table, because that is what decides the scoring. Gardens in the Kingdom? Your final deck size divides by ten, rounds down, and multiplies by the Gardens you bought. Playing Prosperity? Colonies are on the sheet at 10 apiece. Fairgrounds? Then it needs to know how many differently named cards you finished with. Splendor, the same way: Nobles are worth 3 each — unless you played the Cities module, in which case they are worth nothing at all, and the sheet drops them. Smart scorepad that tells you where the game was won - to learn and to improve: which round decides a game, how much of a winning score comes from it, where you beat the table average and where you quietly don't. Per round, per game, per player, per player count, per modes and optional rules. 1,150+ games and 2,150+ expansions, each one read off its own rulebook — from Uno and Catan to Spirit Island and Ark Nova. - The scoring your rulebook actually prints: majorities, tie-breaks, lookup tables, thresholds — computed, not left to you - Select the expansions and optional rules you played, and the sheet rebuilds itself around them - Live scoring and a built-in timer for the games that are scored as you play - Co-op games end the way the rulebook says they end: named victories and defeats, not a Won/Lost toggle - Every play remembered — per game, per player, per round, synced by iCloud - See which round decides a game, and whether it is the one you keep losing - Insights into every play, kept on your devices, not on somebody's server - New games and expansions added every release Score the game exactly as you played it — expansions, variants and optional rules included.
