Truco scoreboard
Truco is a card game that is very popular in Brazil. The truco mode follows the São Paulo style: a game goes up to 12 points. A plain hand is worth 1 point. With truco called, the hand is worth 3; raised to six, it is worth 6; to nine, 9; to twelve, 12.
The two pairs start as Us and Them, and you can change the names. Tap the button with the value of the hand on the pair that won it. When a pair reaches 12 points, the scoreboard marks who closed the game and adds one game won to that pair.
Tap Start new game to clear the points and keep playing. The games won stay on the screen until you reset the score.
The score stays on your device only
Names and points are kept in the browser on your device. If the page reloads or you close the tab by accident, the score comes back as it was. Nothing is sent over the internet.
