Most game nights already have phones on the table. A live scoreboard uses that fact: one shared room, one password, scores that update for everyone without rewriting a paper pad after every round.
In TableScore, live means devices in the same room stay synchronized while you play. When someone changes a score, other phones refresh on their own. You are not uploading a public profile or competing with strangers online—you are keeping the same sheet of numbers visible to your table.
Live scoring shines in longer games, multi-round games, and nights with four or more players— anywhere a paper scoresheet gets crowded or someone forgets to carry a total forward. It also helps when players sit around a large table and cannot easily see one central sheet.
If you want to try it, create a room on the home page and keep the first game simple: enter names, share the password, and update points as you go.
