Dékal — score sheet

With Scoria, score Dékal games without paper or mental math: the app adds scores, applies the scoring method and identifies the winner. No account required, offline-ready, data kept on your device.

Rules

Setup: 16 cards per person, face down, in a 4 × 4 grid.

Each turn, everyone reveals one card from their grid at the same time, then, in turn, takes one from the centre and slides it into their grid from the outside, pushing a row or a column.

After 16 turns, touching cards of the same value cancel out.

The lowest total wins.

How to count points

At the end of the round, remove every card of the same value that touches another by a side (diagonals don't count): a pair, a trio or a larger group cancels out entirely.

Enter the sum of the remaining cards: the lowest score wins.

In case of a tie, the grid with the fewest cards left wins; otherwise the victory is shared.

Multi-round variant: scores add up and the game stops as soon as someone reaches 100 points.
