Read full descriptionHide full description
Chouette Central takes the hassle out of running a Chouette backgammon session. Designed for groups who play the classic multi-player format where one person (the Box) takes on the rest of the table, led by a Captain, Chouette Central automatically tracks who's in the Box, who's Captain, and how the rotation moves as games are won and lost. No more scribbled notes or manual math: the app keeps a running tally of each player's standing throughout the session, so balances stay accurate and disputes over who owes what become a thing of the past. This app requires an active subscription (Monthly, $2.99/month) or a one-time Lifetime purchase ($9.99) to access any features. There is no free tier. Key features: - Automatic Box and Captain rotation tracking - Live standings for every player in the session - Optional point-value and currency tracking to keep balances clear - Simple session setup - add your players and start playing - Clean, easy-to-read scoring screens designed for use at the table Whether you play casually with friends or run a regular game night, Chouette Central keeps the scoring simple so you can focus on the game.
