Death Match Candidates
RealJacksonWalsh and Espontaneo
This game is played over the course of 10 rounds. In each round, the players are shown a series of 9 cards. Each card has three features: shape (circle, square, triangle), shape color (red, yellow, blue), and background color (red, yellow, blue).
Starting with a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors to determining who plays first, players take turns identifying sets of three cards in which the three features are either all the same or all different. (For example: Circle-Red-Red, Square-Red-Yellow, Triangle-Red-Blue.) If they see a set, the player says "Hap!", and identifies the three cards by number. The board is set up as follows:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
If the set is valid, the player scores a point. If the set is invalid, or has already been called, the player loses a point. If 10 seconds pass without a "Hap!" call, play passes to the other player. In the event that the turn passes five times without a Hap! call, the round automatically ends.
If all of the sets have been identified, the player may call "Gyul!" If "Gyul!" was called correctly and there are no more sets left, the player scores 3 points and the round ends. If "Gyul!" is called when there are still sets to identify, however, the player loses 1 point.
The player with the most points after 10 rounds wins the game. If the score is tied after 10 rounds, an 11th round is played as a tiebreaker.
The Death Match Candidates have agreed to play at 8 pm EST, it'll be in a private chatzy that I will post after the fact.
