The scorekeeper needs scripting turned on
Nothing here is stored anywhere but your own browser, and there is no account to make. If scripting stays off, the printable sheet does the same job on paper.
First pig
Second pig
Rolls that cost you
Working it
- Tap what the first pig did, then what the second one did. The roll is scored the moment both are in, and it lands in the log at the bottom.
- Keep going while you like the number next to This turn. Bank it and the points move to your row and the pigs pass on.
- The two red buttons are for the rolls the pigs decide between themselves. Nothing on screen can see that they came to rest touching, so that one you have to report.
Pig Out has no button of its own on purpose. Pick one pig on its dotted side and the other on its blank side and it happens by itself, because that is all a Pig Out is.
Where the scores live
In this browser and nowhere else. Close the tab and come back and the game is still there; open it on a different device and it is not. There is no account and nothing is sent anywhere.
Playing to something other than 100 is a matter of changing the number in the Play to box. Everything else follows it.
What it is actually adding
It scores by the pair, not by the pig. Two matching landings pay the double, which is more than the same two landings added together, and a pig on its side adds nothing to a mixed roll. That last one catches people out, so the counter does it quietly and the arithmetic stops being an argument.
What it will not do is tell you when to stop. The counter is happy to watch you lose 44 points to one greedy roll. The break even sits near 22 points in a turn, and when to stop rolling shows where that number comes from.
