Score Keeper does all your score keeping for you! Love playing games at home, but hate having to keep score and add up everyone's score? Let Score Keeper do it for you! Start a new game, add as many players as you like, then start adding points for each player. Score Keeper stores your game so you can come back later and pick up where you left off. Your scores are also shown on your Echo Show or in the Alexa App!
When you first launch Score Keeper, you will be asked who your first player is, say your player name and keep adding players until everyone in your game has joined. If you open Score Keeper again within the next hour, it will automatically start adding scores for each player by cycling through each player and asking how many points to add to their score. If you want to do something else, simply say what you want when Alexa asks for a response.
TIPS FOR SUCCESS: - Before starting the add scores process by either opening the skill after recently starting a game or directly asking score keeper to start adding points, make sure everyone in the game is ready with their score. - Make sure the room is quiet when giving commands and adding points, make sure there is little to no background noise, such as cards shuffling or dominoes sliding.
Here are the different commands you can give Score Keeper:
START A NEW GAME Starting a new game will remove all the players and their scores and will immediately ask you for your first players name in the new game.
"Alexa, ask Score Keeper to start a new game" "Alexa, tell Score Keeper to create a new game".
ADD A PLAYER TO THE GAME Either start a new game and you will be immediately asked who your first player is or you can add a player in a single command.
"Alexa, tell Score Keeper to add John to my game" "Alexa, tell Score Keeper to add John"
ADD POINTS FOR EVERYONE IN THE GAME The add points mode is the easiest way to add points for everyone in the game, make sure that everyone knows how many points to add to their score then say one of the phrases below or open Score Keeper if you have made changes in the last hour. When Score Keeper asks for a certain players score, have that player say how many points they earned that round.
"Alexa, tell Score Keeper to start adding points".
GIVE POINTS TO A SPECIFIC PLAYER Sometimes, you may need to add points to just one player, you can easily do so with a single command.
"Alexa, tell Score Keeper to give John 5 points" "Alexa, tell Score Keeper negative 5 points for John".
READ AND SHOW THE SCORES After adding points to everyone's score, the score will be read out loud. If you need to hear the score at any other time, just ask for it, it will be read in order from highest score to lowest score. Also, check the Alexa App or your Echo Show for a card with everybody's score and the history of points for each player.
"Alexa, ask Score Keeper for the score"
RESET THE SCORES If you want to start a new game with the same players but reset their scores to 0.
"Alexa, ask Score Keeper to reset the scores"
TELL THE SCORE FOR A SPECIFIC PLAYER When you want to know the score for just one specific player
