I am looking for ways to track scores for games where the included score tracking is not great. I would like something tactile, I already use apps but I'd prefer not to fidget with digital devices at the table.

Ideally I'd like something that's:

  • tactile, should be enjoyable to manipulate with our meat appendages
  • easy to read
  • robust, should resist some minor knocking about without losing the scores
  • track 2-4 players
  • go up to at least 100 and preferably also track 100s
  • should be easy to increase or decrease scores in any increments
  • shouldn't take up too much table space

The closest thing I see is a cribbage peg board. Or possibly an abacus. Or maybe one of those click wheels but those don't usually handle larger increments well. Any other options?

I love little Etsy sellers like this! We have several puzzle boards made by a kind hobbyist grandfather.
