Score King

The Skull King score keeper. You bid, you bluff, you trump. The maths is his problem.

Tell me when it ships How does it count?
01 · What it does

The table counts itself

No more scribbled box lids and botched sums at round 8. You play, it keeps the ship’s register.

2 to 8 players

The whole crew boards. Add pirates and the table order follows on its own.

Adjustable rounds

The classic 10-round crossing, or a short one when the evening demands it. You are the captain.

Locked bids

Phase 1: everyone bids their tricks, then it locks. Nobody “readjusts” after seeing the wind turn.

Tricks won

Phase 2: round played, you tap in who took what. Two taps, next round.

Automatic scoring

Scores and totals by the official rules, every round. Zero arithmetic disputes — the bluffing provides plenty already.

Bonuses counted

Skull King munching pirates, mermaid munching the king, the 14s — every bonus lands at the right time, for the right amount.

02 · The scale

The rules, minus the arguments

The official scale, applied to the letter. This is exactly what Score King writes in the register.

Bid madeyou bid n ≥ 1 · you take exactly n tricks+20 × trick
Zero madeyou bid 0 · you take nothing+10 × round no.
Bid missedtoo many or too few tricks−10 × the gap
Zero missedyou bid 0 · a trick lands on you−10 × round no.
The 14sa colour 14 · the black 14+10 / +20
Skull Kinghe munches a pirate+30 per pirate
Mermaidshe munches the Skull King+40

The detail that starts arguments at real tables: bonuses only count if your bid is made. That is the official rule — Score King applies it and does not negotiate, not even with the captain.

03 · In your pocket

Install it, kill the WiFi, play

The app is functional — it just lacks a public home port. One email when the hosted version is live, nothing else — no newsletter, no chasing.
