Up & Down the River Scorecard
Quick bids, tricks & scores
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Score as fast as you play.
Up & Down the River Scorecard keeps score for the card game where you bid on exactly how many tricks you'll take. You might know it as Oh Hell, Oh Heck, Blackout, Bust, or Nomination Whist.
Enter bids and tap in tricks as they're taken. The app handles the hand size, the dealer, and the score, so the next round can start as soon as the last card is played.
RUNS THE ROUND
- The hand size goes up one card each round and back down again, set for your player count. Nobody has to count.
- Tracks the dealer and bidding order, and blocks the dealer's forbidden bid.
- Marks each bid made or missed as tricks come in, so everyone can see who's on track before the hand is over.
- Won't confirm a round where the tricks don't add up.
- Scores automatically: 10 points plus one per trick if you make your bid, nothing if you miss.
- Undo for mistakes. 3 to 13 players. Games save as you go.
SPECTATOR MODE
- Nobody has to lean over the scorer's shoulder. Everyone else can watch bids and scores live on their own iPhone or iPad.
- Works over the same Wi-Fi, with no accounts, codes, or setup.
- Follow one player to see only their bids and score.
HALL OF FAME AND STAT CARDS
- Wins, win rate, perfect rounds, busts, and best scores for everyone who's played. Filter to just the regulars.
- Save a stat card to Photos after each game to share in the group chat.
EASY FOR EVERYONE
- The rules are in the app, with a quick version for the table and a full guide for settling disputes.
- Dynamic Type, High Contrast mode, Keep Screen On, and light and dark mode on iPhone and iPad.
PRIVATE AND FREE
- No accounts, ads, analytics, or tracking. Your games stay on your device, with backup and erase options.
- Completely free.
