Cardboard Scores
About
Born at a kitchen table, somewhere around round nine.
Every Hearts night ends the same way: someone's phone calculator, a napkin with crossed-out numbers, and a spirited debate about whether the moon was worth twenty-six points to the shooter or from everyone else.
Cardboard Scores settles it. It's a scorekeeper that knows the rules, shows the running tally on every player's phone in real time, and keeps the history so the family rivalry has an official record. It works in the browser tonight and lands on the App Store soon.
Frequently asked
Which games does it support?
Hearts today, with the full rulebook: exact 26-point rounds, shoot-the-moon detection, both moon house rules, and configurable end scores. Spades is next on the list.
Why sign in with a phone number?
No passwords to forget, and no email spam. A six-digit text code gets you in, and your games follow you across web and iPhone.
Does everyone see the score at the same time?
Yes — the moment a hand is entered, every connected player's screen updates. There's even a little presence dot so you know who's watching.
Can I fix a mis-entered round?
The host can undo the last round at any time — even if it accidentally ended the game.
What does it cost?
Game night is free. A Premium tier ($4.99/year) will add forever-history and deep statistics — see pricing.
