Awesome idea, definitely something I would use because I play yahtzee a lot randomly. But when I play board games I only have my phone so mobile version needs a lot of work. I have to imagine most people are the same so in my opinion you should think about that as default usecase when thinking of UI. Will follow the project. Nice work

#23For random point-tracking, I keep going back to Rounds: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.publicobje...
It's one of the few to escape the Excel-but-simpler model, and due to that and the input wheel it's much quicker for doing stuff out of order or making adjustments, and that's super common for me.

#24Can I contribute games I'd like to add? Or maybe run a local version customized for the games my group plays?
I'll 2nd this. you should add some general protocol to add games. and how no catan?
I'm not sure Catan makes sense for this. Keeping tabs on the other player's score is part of the game. If a player has a development card face down, you never really know their actual score for sure, and you have to consider the unknown into your strategy.

I'm accepting suggestions for games to add, since pretty I'm out of touch with the scene and there's so many amazing new ones to keep up with. As far as contributing, maybe I'll put this up on GitHub...
As a way for individuals to contribute?

#26I've made https://leaderboardhq.com for general scorekeeping. Main use case was a scoreboard that kept track of rounds and sets.

Be nice to just have a "default" that's just names, rounds and scores, which would cover like 1000 card games.

#29I made a very minimal[0] phone only score board. Scores are increased by scrolling, or holding to set it to a specific value. Pressing the 'settings' tab enables modes for games like 'Whist' that involve betting, as well as configuring the number of players. [0] https://score.feud.today/

Cell input should be a number type so mobile keyboard defaults to numbers.
Entry cells should scroll separately from row headers.
Can't remove players.
Plus and minus buttons on cell entry would be nice.
(I tried the Wingspan one)
