Say the name of a token. It comes out of your printer. Nobody can have every token handy when the situation calls for it. Cauldron is a life counter / token-printer. Hold the microphone, say "goblin" or "4/4 angel with flying" or "treasure," and the card is found, dithered and printed on receipt paper in about a second. It also tracks life quite well. Drag from one seat to another to deal commander damage. Draw a glyph on a seat to give it the monarch, poison, energy, experience, rads or the city's blessing. Three fingers across the board starts a new game. Two fingers opens the settings. This is a full-fledged life counter, without menus. THE PRINTERS Cauldron drives the Phomemo M110 over Bluetooth. The printers use no ink - merely fast heat transfer to receipt paper, they will not smear. The batteries last several days on a single charge over USB-C. DICE AND COINS AND MORE Say "roll a d20" or "flip a coin." Four, six, eight, ten, twelve, twenty and a hundred sides... all announced out loud by a voice synthesizer that sounds like it was built in 1982. "Momir {number}" to get a random creature. Every token is indexed on your phone, so lookup is quick. Speech is recognised on the device. Nothing about your game is uploaded anywhere. No Accounts. No Signups. WHAT YOU NEED A Phomemo M110 printer and a roll of thermal paper. Cauldron will show you which paper and printer to purchase. Card data and images from Scryfall.
