The short answer

Your family plans in one place

The problem

The score sheet goes missing or different people have written down different totals.

How Best4Family helps

Open Game Tools, tap Start New Round and choose Scores & Players or Combo (Standard). Add family members or guests. Plus and minus change scores by the configured step; tapping a score opens Add, Subtract and Set exact. End keeps the round available to read afterwards.

How it works

Get organised in a few steps

  1. 01

    Create a session

    Enter Our games evening and choose Combo (Standard). This template also includes turn order, a timer, dice and notes. Tap Create.

  2. 02

    Add players

    Tap Add beside Players and add Daniel, Sofia and Emma from the family accounts, in that order. Add Leo through Name (Guest); he does not need his own account.

  3. 03

    Enter the current scores

    Tap Daniel’s score, choose Set exact, enter five and apply it. The example also records seven for Sofia, four for Emma and six for Leo. The separate Round counter is three.

  4. 04

    End the session

    Open Actions, choose End and confirm. The session appears under Ended Rounds. Sofia can also open it from her account and read the saved scores.

If something looks wrong

Scores do not change when you change Round.

The round counter and scores are separate. Enter the actual points with plus, minus or the score dialog.

Less coordination, a clearer view

Bring your family plans together.
