TallyUp is the last score pad you'll ever need for game night. Keep the score of any board or card game for 2 to 10 players, with rounds, automatic totals, a live leader crown, and an automatic winner when someone hits the target — no more scribbled napkins or arguments over the math. Built for real tables: set it down in the middle, tap to add points, and everyone can read the giant scoreboard from across the room. SCORE ANY GAME Create a game once (name it, choose whether the highest or lowest score wins, set an optional point limit) and reuse it forever. Catan, Rummy, Uno, dominoes, darts, trivia night — if it has a score, TallyUp keeps it. A SCOREBOARD BUILT FOR THE TABLE Each player gets a colored card with a huge, easy-to-read score that rolls like an odometer. Tap the quick plus and minus buttons, or open the big number pad to enter a whole round at once. The player in the lead gets a golden crown and a glow so you always know who's winning. AUTOMATIC WINNER Set a point limit and TallyUp ends the match the moment someone reaches it, with a winner screen and confetti. End any game manually whenever you like. TABLE TOOLS INCLUDED Lost your dice? Need to decide who goes first? TallyUp has animated dice (roll one to six at once), a coin flip, and a turn timer with a countdown ring — all in one place. MATCH HISTORY & RIVALRIES Every finished game is saved per game type. See head-to-head win counts, who's on a winning streak, and the full log of past matches so the bragging rights are settled by the numbers. MADE TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY - Your players, games and history stay on your device — no account, no login, no backend - Works fully offline - The screen stays awake during a match - Free to use, supported by ads (ads never interrupt an active game) - English and Spanish Download TallyUp and make it the score pad for your next game night.
