This Death Match is called Gyul! Hap! -- a game of observation and quick-thinking that is a staple from the Genius.
In each round, you will both be given a board of 9 symbols. Each symbol shows a shape on a background. There are:
- 3 possible shapes.
- 3 possible shape colors.
- 3 possible background colors.
You will be required to find all of the “matches” on the board before your opponent.
A match (called a Hap!) is defined as follows: Each of the three characteristics is either the SAME ON ALL SYMBOLS, or is DIFFERENT ON ALL 3 SYMBOLS.
For example:

This is a match, because the shapes are all identical, the background colors are all identical, and the shape colors are all different. Because all 3 of the properties are either identical or all distinct, they form a match.

These pictures do NOT form a match. They have identical backgrounds and distinct colors, they are not all identical or distinct shapes, because there are 2 stars.
When the board is revealed, both of you may call a Hap by posting the combination of 3 numbers of the 9 by posting (for example):
HAP
3 6 7
The numbers represent which picture on the grid you are referencing (they will be numbered).
If the combination is a Hap, you EARN 1 point. If the combination is NOT a Hap, then you LOSE 1 point.
If you think that there are no more Haps on the board, then you may call GYUL. Gyul means that there are no more Haps remaining. If you are correct, then you will gain 3 POINTS. However, if you are incorrect and there are Haps remaining on the board, you will lose 2 points.
The game consists of 7 rounds. The player with most points at the end will win and stay in the game
