score_counter

Also available on my online store.

Board games Score Counter is a device meant to be used for keeping the score for up to four players when playing board games like Scrabble etc. The numbers of players is selectable through the settings menu. Names up to ten characters long can be entered for each player. For each player an accumulated score is stored, which is the total amount of points up to the current moment in the game, and the points from the current round are entered using a rotary encoder or the Up and Down arrow keys. When OK is pressed the point from the current round are added to the total amount. More detailed explanation and screenshot might be found in the User manual HERE or on my web site HERE
