Totally Bad Life Counter
A tabletop life counter that turns damage tracking into a small 16-bit fighting game.
Field notes
The counter combines ordinary life-total controls with fighter reactions: players tap up or down, hold for five-point changes, and can undo mistakes. Its Commander mode is configured for four players starting at forty life and tracks damage from each opponent, including the twenty-one-damage threshold. The page lists six fighters and says each has more than sixty lines, while captions are present and voices are planned. A physical tabletop version, The Cabinet, is described as being in testing.
