Built for people who actually play, with real cards and real dice, around a real table. DICE GAMES The five-dice classic, a six-dice Maxi version, a four-dice Baby version for children, and an Express game that takes ten minutes. Totals, bonuses and combinations are worked out for you. CARD GAMES Belote in teams, with the contract and the announcements. Tarot with the full official French scoring: enter the contract, the oudlers and the points, and the app does the rest. Rummy, President, and two modern classics. OUTDOOR AND PUB Pétanque in singles, doubles or triples, with the score belonging to the team. Darts 501 counting down, refusing any visit that busts. Bowling with strikes and spares properly carried over.

YOUR OWN SHEET Playing something that is not on the list? The blank sheet lets you set the players, the rounds, and whether the highest or the lowest total wins.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Alea at free against Dice Sheet's freemium. Alea also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
