Score sheets
A score sheet is a digital scorecard you can fill in while logging a play. The app adds up the totals and picks the winner for you, instead of doing the math by hand.
Opening a score sheet
When a game uses point scoring, you can open a scorecard while adding or editing a play. It shows one column per participant.
- Each team is a single column: its members share one score.
- Bots aren't shown on the scorecard.
Entering scores
- Give each row a category (for example a scoring round or a bonus), then type each participant's value in that row.
- Add and remove categories as you need them.
- Totals are worked out automatically, and the leading column is highlighted.
Note: the winner follows the game's score direction — the highest or the lowest total wins, depending on how the game is set.
Ready-made scorecards
Some games come with a ready-made scorecard: the scoring categories are already set, so you just enter each value. If they don't fit — or you want to add your own — you can switch to a custom scorecard where every category can be renamed, removed or added. Anything you've already entered is kept.
Sharing your scorecard with the community
If you build a custom scorecard for a game, you can propose your categories as a ready-made scorecard for that game. After a quick review, an approved proposal becomes the scorecard everyone sees for that game the next time they score it.
Proposing is available for games listed on BoardGameGeek, once your scorecard has a couple of clearly named categories. The app may also offer to share your scorecard when you confirm one it thinks could help others.
Tip: sharing is always optional — you can keep any custom scorecard just for your own play.
Applying and editing
Confirming writes each column total into the matching score field on the play; leaving without confirming discards your changes. While a scorecard is attached, those score fields are filled from it — remove the scorecard if you'd rather edit the totals by hand.
The scorecard stays consistent with the play: if a participant leaves, their column goes with them, and if you change the play so that point scoring no longer applies, the scorecard is cleared.
Reviewing later
The filled scorecard is saved with the play. Open it again from the play's details to review every category.
