The project

Bone keeps the score sheet while you roll real dice. Pick one of 20+ games, from Yatzy and Farkle to Liar's Dice and 421, add your players, and the app does the maths: combinations, bonuses, every turn's points and the ranking. No more scribbled sheets, no more mental arithmetic, no more arguments about the total. For every other game night, a free score counter takes over. It is all free: no ads, no in-app purchases, no account.

The origin
T

Tanguyfounder of Bloomwise Studio

I always have dice on me, because I love playing Yahtzee. The problem is that the existing apps are packed with ads, to the point where you have to switch to airplane mode just to play a normal game. And they all stop at Yahtzee, when really, if you love dice, you want to play other things too. I built Bone for that: an app that keeps the scores without nagging you, and that opens up the whole collection of dice games.

Questions
Does it cost anything?

No. Bone is completely free, every game included: no subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads, no account.

Do I need real dice?

That's the idea: you roll, tap the values and Bone keeps score. No dice? The virtual roller does the job.

How many players?

Up to 8 on one phone for dice games, up to 12 with the score counter.

Do I need an internet connection?

No, everything runs locally and your games stay on your phone.

Can I resume a game?

Yes, several games can stay in progress at once and pick up where you left them.

Which phones?

iPhone (App Store) and Android (Google Play), in English and French.
