Smart Scoring "Ticket To Ride"

Tired of counting trains? Let the Pointsman score your games of Ticket To Ride automatically using nothing more than your iPhone's camera! The Pointsman is 100% free with absolutely no ads. If you find yourself enjoying the Pointsman and want to support it, please consider leaving a tip via the app. You can use the Pointsman during normal gameplay to confirm player scores, or just leave the scoring till the end and maximize your enjoyment! The Pointsman will tally up all player routes, route scores, station placements, longest train routes and other game specific bonuses, plus all destination tickets. Everything is presented on a beautiful “score ticket” you can share as a memento of your game. Pointsman uses ARKit, CoreML and custom machine learning to recognize trains on the game board; training the models to make this possible is specific to each set. As such, the Pointsman currently only works on the following versions of the game: Ticket To Ride (USA) Ticket To Ride: USA 1910 Expansion Ticket To Ride: Europe Ticket To Ride: Europa 1912 Expansion Ticket To Ride: Rails and Sails, The Great Lakes Coming Soon: Ticket To Ride: Rails and Sails, The World Known Issues: 1. The Pointsman is not trained to recognize the transparent promotional train sets 2. The Pointsman is not trained to recognize the turquoise variant of the blue trains For best results, stand in squarely in front of the game board and hold your device at approximately a 45 degree angle to the game board. To confirm that the score is accurate, you can perform the following two checks: 1. For each player the number of unused trains is printed on the score ticket, just confirm the number matches the actual number of unused trains. 2. Every connection for each player is listed on the score ticket, you can manually confirm each connection is accurate. If the Pointsman does make a mistake, simply tap on the player's score to access the score editing interface to make the necessary corrections. Want to try it out but don't have a finished game handy? Just go to http://chimerasw.com/pointsman/ and use the Pointsman on the image there! Please note that the Pointsman is not affiliated with Days of Wonder or Ticket to Ride in any manner whatsoever. I am just a fan that finds counting trains to be quite tedious. If you are reading this then you probably do as well!}

Great app!! My only comment is that on newer printings of Ticket to Ride, the game tokens have been made translucent. On occasion the app has trouble discerning that the blue tokens on top of a yellow, or green route are not in fact green tokens.

Love the concept and it has worked flawlessly in the past, but just tonight noticed an incorrect scan of a route card. Tried it multiple times and still fails. In this particular instance, I was trying to scan “San Francisco to Atlanta” (17 pts) but it always scanned as “Los Angeles to Oklahoma City” (9 pts). Tried multiple times, same result. I’ve suggested this apps to friend and now I’m embarrassed to tell them that it doesn’t always work, sorry.

Very cool execution, love the concept. Right now I’ve only tried it a couple of times and it doesn’t seem to pick up on yellow trains, i’ve tried it with different lighting and that doesn’t seem to fix it. Probably the model needs some training there.

This app is great. However, for the last 2 or so months I have been unable to do manual edit. Opening the manual edit page all the tabs are blank

Great app. Makes scoring so much easier. One issue I am seeing is not distinguishing between versions of the game. When playing standard game, no expansion, it is scoring as if playing Mega Game from 1910 expansion. (i.e. it included globetrotter and longest train bonus instead of only longest train bonus) Maybe a setting to identify which way you ar playing.

To my amazement this app works perfectly using the power of AI. It is one of the first times AI has directly improved my life and it is a wonderful feeling. Thank you for taking the time to develop this. I will be donating.

A warm thank you to everyone who have reached out to help make the Pointsman even better! • In the last update we introduced a bug which prevents you from scanning multiple tickets in a row; this is now fixed.
