AI
The computer can play 1-4 characters, and the higher the skill of the selected character is, the better the computer plays.
The skill is based on the number of posts the member with that avatar has.
Bonuses
There are currently two types of bonuses you can find when you turn a card:
- Giant Puck: The puck gets bigger, which makes it easier to mark cards (+500 points).
- Turn all free cards: All cards which are not marked by a player will get your mark (+300 points).
If you are 1-2 players, there is 1 of each above, if there are 3-4 players there are 2 of each. You will also get 20 points when you steal another player's marking.
Controls
Your goal is to find the pairs. Every turn you get to hit your puck with the mallet (the thing you control with the mouse).
The mallet is inactivated (dimmed) a short period at the start of each turn. This is so that you get a chance to move it away from opponent's pucks to avoid hitting them accidentally (you will get a penalty). Press the mouse button if you don't want to wait for it to be activated.
When you have hit the puck and all pucks have stopped you may turn two cards (if you have two or more cards marked).
You may also skip to turn cards by pressing the "Skip Turn" button. This can be a good idea if you already know the images of your marked cards and there are no two identical cards among them. No need to show the opponents what are on them.
The amount of points you receive when two identical cards is turned is based on the number of posts the owner of the avatar had when they were added to the game.
