Your trusty companion for every game night – simple, ad-free, free! Sound familiar? You want to start game night, but you don't have the right die, there's an argument about who goes first, and keeping score on paper is a hassle? Boardgame Pal solves all of these problems in a single, minimalist app. No registration, no loading times, no frills. Just open the app and start playing right away!
The tools at a glance: * Randomly draw a starting player and turn order: Who goes first? Let the app decide instantly and completely fairly for you. * Smart team split: Need multiple teams? Split the group into evenly sized, fair teams in seconds. * Flexible dice cup: No dice on hand right now? Roll with a standard D6 or adjust the number of sides (D4, D8, D10, D12, D20) to perfectly fit your game. * Simple coin toss: Dice are too much hassle? For a simple yes/no decision, the coin toss is the right tool. * Random letter: Need a reliable way to pick a letter for a game of Scattergories? No problem with the built-in random letter tool, including a handover to the hourglass. * Digital scoreboard: Forgot the score pad again or don't have a pen handy? The simple scoreboard makes it easy to track numeric values for multiple players, and a total score across multiple rounds is also possible. * Life points counter: Missing the counter for your dungeon crawler? Far easier than a paper score pad, it keeps track of life points – or any other kind of points – for several players at once. * Classic countdown: Missing the hourglass again? The digital hourglass, built in and easy to use.

All features are fully available right away. * Minimalist & Battery-Friendly: A clean, clear design that's intuitive to use and easy on your phone's battery, even during long game nights. * Privacy First: The app doesn't request unnecessary permissions and doesn't collect any personal data.
