How to use RakMol

A practical guide to the current RakMol flow from home screen to match finish

RakMol is a browser-based score app for both team and individual Mölkky games. This page follows the current UI flow so you can move from setup to sharing and history review without guessing.

Step by step

1. Choose team mode or individual mode

The title screen lets you start a team game or an individual game. It also gives quick access to history, language switching, this guide, and a full data reset.

2. Enter team and player names

In team mode you set team names and player names. In individual mode you set player names. You can add, remove, reorder and reuse names from history, and empty names are blocked before moving forward.

3. Pick the match format

RakMol currently supports three formats: single match, multiple-set total match, and first-to-sets match. That covers one-off games, total-score formats, and set races.

4. Adjust detailed rules

You can change the winning score, penalty score after going over, turn limit, number of sets or sets to win, and the play-order rotation mode. Score advantage is available only for 2 teams in a 3-set match.

5. Arrange play order and start

The play-order screen supports drag-and-drop reordering and shuffle. Once you start, the game screen shows the current thrower, score status, consecutive misses and set progress.

6. Enter scores and finish the match

During play you record scores, mark misses and undo the last action. RakMol shows confirmation dialogs for reaching the winning score or a disqualification. After a set ends you move to the next one, then replay or finish once the match is complete.

Useful features during play

Share link and QR code

You can generate a share link and QR code from the game screen. Shared viewers can follow the match live, but only the host can edit the score.

History view

The history button on the title screen opens saved team or player records, match counts and last played dates. Unneeded history entries can be deleted there.

Language switch and reset

The title screen supports Japanese, English, Finnish and French. The reset action clears local data together with local shared-session state.

Tips

Individual mode still follows the same flow as team mode, so it scales from solo use to multi-player sessions.

In multi-set formats you can keep an eye on both the current set and the running total from previous sets.

Sharing is best for spectators or another device nearby, while editing stays centralized on the host device.

Choose a mode on the home screen, enter names, select a match format, fine-tune rules, then arrange the play order. During the match you can input scores, mark misses, undo, and share the live state. After the match you can replay with the same rules or start over with new ones.
