Party games force someone to be a full-time game master and scorekeeper, ruining the host's night

Summary

Hosts and party organizers describe intense frustration that casual group games (party games, mission games, drinking games) collapse under the weight of manual game-mastering: someone has to know the rules, enforce turns, track points for every player, and keep the night flowing. One host explicitly says keeping a point system was 'too chaotic and too much work while drinking,' so they tried (and struggled) to hand-build their own party game to avoid 'having to monitor the game the entire night.' Existing party/board games offer no automated referee: rulebooks and scorekeeping are manual, most digital party games demand a dedicated device per player and a person to run the app, and there is no self-running, single-device game that enforces rules, tracks state, and lets everyone (including the host) actually play. This is a high-intensity, unresolved problem directly aligned with AI-powered pass-and-play board games that automate rules and scoring on one shared phone/tablet/laptop.
