00:00If you've ever had a game of Magic, Pokemon, or Lorcanum get totally derailed because someone
00:04bumped the spindown die, you know how frustrating it is. I decided to dig around and test the top

00:15your board state crystal clear without draining your phone battery. Kicking things off, we have

00:24you get 3 separate trackers for just $5.25. With an impressive 4.8-star rating, it's perfect if
00:32you play Commander and want to lend counters to your friends, or if you need to track life,
00:36Commander damage, and poison counters all at once. They're super tactile, easy to read across the
00:42playmat, and at this price, it's basically an instant upgrade for your game bag.
00:47Next up is this portable score tracker with an adjustable wheel dial,
00:50coming in at $4.17 with a flawless 5-star rating. What sets this one apart is how smoothly the
