--> See the End of game scoring, part B: "subtract VP for any cards in your teardown pile"
Score sheet options
Negative
If a score is always negative you can indicate that on the score sheet by adding a line at the bottom.
Line 3 is negative.
Groups
Sometimes scoring lines are grouped, optional a group can have a label (title). A group can also have an optional subtotal. You can indicate groups on the score sheet by adding a line at the bottom.
A Group with title “Goals”, has a subtotal consists of lines 1, 2 and 3.
Lines 4 and 5 are in a group without title.
Checkboxes and radio buttons
A checkbox or radio button can add a value or indicate a game was won.
Use a checkbox when more people can get this, a radio button for when only one person can get this. You can indicate this on the score sheet by adding a line at the bottom.
Lines 1 and 2 are radio buttons indicating a win.
Line 5 is a checkbox worth 5 points.
Repeating a row
Sometimes you don’t know how many rows you need, so you indicate this as a repeating row. You can indicate this on the score sheet by adding a line at the bottom.
Line 5 is a repeating row.
Non-scoring fields
Sometimes you want to see stats over a score that doesn’t count (directly) for the overall score. You can use a non-scoring field for this, these will be shown as a field with a dotted line around them. (Examples of these can be found in the sheets for Splendor Duel and Innovation). You can indicate this on the score sheet by adding a line at the bottom.
Line 3 is a non-scoring field.
Rounds
If the game scores in several rounds with repeating lines of scores, please indicate the minimum and maximum (or unlimited) number of rounds that are expected. Each round can contain one or more score lines, but no groups. Please describe this at the bottom of the template.
Round-specific scoring:
Besides the above score sheet type where all scores are added up to determine a winner, when using Rounds there are also other sheet scorings available:
- Best single rounds wins (you fill in scores for every round, but per player only the highest score wins)
- Best of x rounds wins (eg. To win best of 3 you need to win 2 rounds)
General notes
Please read the following, these are true for all templates.
Score sheet text
- If a game has another way to count points during a game, like a score track, put this in the sheet, as the first line.
- Try to use the terminology and order that is used in the official rules as much as possible and try to keep lines short.
- Score sheets do not support icons/pictures, so if the original score sheet/rules use icons, please provide names for those icons that we can put on the sheet.
Technical
- If you send a link to rules on BGG, please make sure to send a link to the rules page instead of a link to the PDF, because that link will expire and we cannot use it.
- If you send pictures instead of the complete rules, send pictures of all relevant pages, and please make sure they are readable and in the right orientation.
Combining different options
Not all templates are exactly created as submitted. This can be because something would work better in a different way, like in a group, something is not possible, lines are forgotten etc. Because of this, please read what we ask below, if you want to send more than one action for the same sheet.
