A scorer & rulebook for the 3-13 card game

Three cards up to thirteen. Low score wins.

3-13 Scorer is an iPhone score pad that knows the game — it shows the round, the wild rank, and whose deal it is, so the table can argue about melds instead of math.

The scoring screen: standings with a crowned leader, and the round 7 card showing 9 cards dealt, 9s wild, dealer marked
Round 7 — the app already knows 9s are wild.

Which rank is wild?

  1. R13s
  2. R24s
  3. R35s
  4. R46s
  5. R57s
  6. R68s
  7. R79s
  8. R810s
  9. R9J
  10. R10Q
  11. R11K

The rank matching the deal is wild — the thing everyone forgets. Print the full scoring sheet.

  1. Set the table.

    Add players once — a selfie, a photo, or initials on a color. Tap them in seating order and the deal rotates itself. House rules (aces high, jokers, face cards at 11·12·13) are toggles, not arguments.

  2. Score each round.

    Enter everyone’s deadwood, star whoever went out, and the totals keep themselves. The dealer wears a spade badge; the leader wears the crown. Tap any past round to fix a miscount.

  3. Crown the winner.

    After the Kings-wild round the trophy goes up, the game files itself into history, and the rematch is two taps away.

    Final screen: Colleen wins with 37 points, full round-by-round history below
