Puntos Carioca es la forma más simple y bonita de llevar el puntaje del Carioca, el clásico juego de cartas chileno. Olvídate del lápiz y el papel: anota cada mano, mira quién va ganando y celebra al campeón. Qué puedes hacer: • Crear partidas con todos los jugadores que quieras. • Anotar el puntaje mano por mano (gana quien tiene MENOS puntos). • Ver el ranking en vivo y un gráfico de la evolución de la partida. • Editar las manos a gusto de tu familia (parte con la secuencia clásica chilena). • Armar tu "familia": cada jugador con su nombre, color y emoji. • Desbloquear logros y revisar estadísticas: victorias, promedios, rachas y duelos cara a cara. • Deshacer la última mano si alguien se equivocó anotando. • Compartir el resultado con el grupo cuando termina la partida. • Confeti y celebración cuando alguien gana. Pensada para jugar de verdad: • Funciona sin conexión, en modo avión y sin señal. • No pide cuenta ni datos personales: todo se guarda en tu iPhone. • Gratis, sin cuenta y sin compras dentro de la app: se financia con un banner discreto abajo. • Instrucciones adentro: cómo se usa la app y las 9 manos del Carioca en orden, por si se te olvidó cuál venía después. Ideal para la once, el asado del domingo o las vacaciones en el sur. ¡Que gane el mejor (o la mejor)!
