Lorekeeper
Read full descriptionHide full description
Lorekeeper is a lore counter for Lorcana that lives on the table between you and your opponents. Huge numbers, flat ink colours, and almost no chrome, so everyone can read the score from their own seat. Set the phone down, open the app, and play. Tap the right side of your tile to add lore, the left side to take it back. Every tap counts right away, with a running total beside the number while you quest. When someone reaches the target, their tile fills and the win moment plays. FEATURES • Two, three or four players, each tile turned to face its own seat • Core (20 lore) and Coconut (25 lore) formats, plus custom targets and per-player overrides • Per-player history with undo, redo and rewind to any moment • Turn tracking for every player, right on their tile, so you always know what turn it is • A hub between the tiles for the timer, coin flip, players and settings • Optional game timer with Time Called and a final turns countdown • Six inks, gradients, geometric textures, or your own photo on every tile • Saved players so returning friends are one tap away • Haptics and soft sounds, both easy to switch off • VoiceOver support and Reduce Motion aware • No account, no ads, no tracking. Everything stays on your device. Lorekeeper is an unofficial fan-made app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Disney or Ravensburger.
