Free Phase 10 score sheet online, and how to make your own

The 10 phases and how Phase 10 scoring works

Everyone works through the same ten phases in order. In each hand you try to lay down your current phase. If you make it, you move on to the next phase in the next hand; if you don't, you try the same phase again. When someone plays all their cards, the hand ends and everyone else scores points for the cards still in their hand. The first player to complete phase 10 wins. If two players finish phase 10 in the same hand, the one with fewer points wins.

Example: Alex is left holding a 4, an 11 and a Wild: 5 + 10 + 25 = 40 points. In the score keeper, tap Alex's score button, then +5, +10 and +25, and tick "Made phase" if Alex laid down their phase this hand. A set is cards of the same number; a run is numbers in a row, in any colours.

Your own Phase 10 score keeper

You'll describe the score keeper to a free AI assistant, paste what it writes into a file, and open it in your browser. Then add the game's own rules, the winner, saving and printing, one step at a time.

• A score sheet with each player's phase and points for every hand
• A "Made it?" tick for each player, so it always knows which phase everyone is on
• Quick buttons for the cards left in hand: +5, +10, +15 for a Skip and +25 for a Wild
• Standings sorted the Phase 10 way: most phases first, then fewest points, and a winner when someone finishes phase 10
• Undo, saving, tap-to-fix for any hand, and printable blank sheets with all ten phases listed

Good for: families who keep losing track of who is on which phase, long games that run over two evenings, and anyone who has ever argued about who really finished first.

What you need

Build it in five steps

Step 1 gives you a simple version that works, and each step after it adds more. The score keeper at the top of this page is roughly what you'll have once you've done every step. Yours will look a bit different, because the AI writes its own version each time.

1. Ask for a simple Phase 10 score sheet

   Copy this prompt into your AI assistant:

   Copy this promptCopy

   I don't know how to code. Please make me a Phase 10 score keeper that runs in a web browser, for my family to use instead of a paper score sheet.
   
   Requirements:
   - ONE single HTML file (HTML, CSS and JavaScript together), no external libraries, no internet needed. I will save it and double-click it.
   - At the top, a list of players with a name box for each, an "Add player" button (up to 8 players) and a small remove button. Start with two players called "Player 1" and "Player 2".
   - Below, a score table with one column for each player and a new row for each hand, showing the points they scored that hand and their running total underneath in smaller text.
   - At the end of each round, a big number button next to each player's name. Tapping it opens a number pad (with a minus key, because scores can be below zero) to type their score. A "Save round" button adds the round to the table once everyone has a score.
   - A "Total" row at the bottom. Fewer points is better.
   - Big, clear, friendly design with a dark background and buttons big enough to tap on a phone.
   
   Please give me the complete file in one code block, then tell me in simple steps how to save and open it.

   Copy the code, paste it into your text editor, and save it as phase10-scores.html. Double-click it, type your family's names and add a couple of hands.

2. Track everyone's phase

   This is what the paper sheet is really for: remembering who is on which phase.

   Copy this promptCopy

   That works, thank you. Please add the phases:
   - These are the 10 phases: 1) 2 sets of 3, 2) 1 set of 3 + 1 run of 4, 3) 1 set of 4 + 1 run of 4, 4) 1 run of 7, 5) 1 run of 8, 6) 1 run of 9, 7) 2 sets of 4, 8) 7 cards of one colour, 9) 1 set of 5 + 1 set of 2, 10) 1 set of 5 + 1 set of 3.
   - Under each player's name, show which phase they're on and what it needs, like "On phase 4: 1 run of 7".
   - Next to each player's score button, a "Made it?" toggle for this hand. When I save the hand, everyone who made their phase moves on to the next one.
   - In the table, put a green tick next to the points of anyone who made their phase that hand.

   Always ask for the complete file. Replace everything in phase10-scores.html, save, and refresh the tab (F5 or Cmd+R).

3. Add the card buttons and the winner

   Now counting a hand is a few taps, and it knows when the game is over.

   Copy this promptCopy

   Please add:
   - In the number pad, quick buttons that add the points for the cards left in hand: "+5 (1 to 9)", "+10 (10 to 12)", "+15 (Skip)" and "+25 (Wild)".
   - A "Standings" list sorted the Phase 10 way: most phases completed first, and if that's a tie, fewest points first.
   - When a hand is saved and one or more players have completed phase 10, the game is over. The winner is whoever finished phase 10 with the fewest points; if that's a tie too, they share the win. Show it in a big friendly message with a "Play again" button.
   
   Send me the complete updated file.

4. Save the game, add undo, and print score sheets

   Someone always types the wrong number, and someone always closes the tab. This step fixes both, and gives you paper sheets for when you'd rather use a pencil.

   Copy this promptCopy

   Please add saving, undo and printing:
   - Save the players and the game in localStorage after every change, so refreshing or closing the page doesn't lose anything. Add a note saying "Your game saves in this browser only. Nothing is sent anywhere." and a "Clear saved game" button that asks first.
   - An "Undo" button that takes back the last change, however many times I press it. Keep a copy of the whole game before each change to make this simple.
   - Let me tap any score in the table to change it, and work all the totals out again.
   - A "Print" panel with a choice of "A4" and "US Letter" paper, and buttons to print:
     1. A blank score sheet that fills one page, with six player columns (a score and a running total for each), a row for every round, and the scoring rules in a box at the bottom.
     2. The game being played right now, with everyone's scores filled in.
   - When printing, show only the sheet, with no buttons, using a print stylesheet and @page with the right paper size and 10 mm margins. Every sheet must fit on exactly one page.
   
   Send me the complete updated file.

5. Make it look and feel finished

   Last of all, the touches that make it nice to pass round the table.

   Copy this promptCopy

   Please finish it off:
   - Coloured animal avatars for players, which I can change, and up and down arrows to change the order.
   - A strip of player cards across the top showing each player's total, with a crown on whoever is winning.
   - A big celebration with confetti when someone wins, and a "Play again" button that keeps the players.
   - A "Keep the screen awake" tick box using the Wake Lock API, hidden or greyed out if the browser can't do it.
   - On a phone, stack everything in one column, make every button at least 44 pixels tall, and let the score table scroll sideways inside its box, never the whole page.
   
   Send me the complete updated file.

Twist it into something else

Players, rounds, undo, saving and printing work for almost any game with a score pad. Change the first prompt to make:

Your rules, your table, no adding up

Paper score sheets get lost halfway through a two-evening game, and it's easy to forget who has made which phase. Yours remembers every phase, adds up the cards, knows the tie-break rule, works on any phone or tablet and never sends your scores anywhere. It's also a great first "real" app: buttons, tables, saving and printing, all in one small file you understand.
