Classic Game In a Classic game the object is to achieve the highest score by finding more SETs than the computer does in a single deck of cards. A number of cards are displayed on the screen. Find as many SETs as you can, until all the cards in the deck are used. The 3 cards of each valid SET you select are replaced with 3 new cards from the deck, until the deck is used up. The following shows how much time you have before the computer takes its turn and picks a SET. Skill Level Time to Find a SET (Classic game) Beginner 30 seconds Intermediate 15 seconds Advanced 9 seconds Expert 6 seconds Each SET you find adds 5 points to your score; an incorrect SET you select deducts 5 points. Each valid SET the computer selects adds 5 points to the computer’s score. Pressing HINT during a Classic game deducts 1, 2, 3, or 4 points from your score based on skill level. The number of cards in a deck is determined by choosing either 3 features or 4 features in the OPTIONS submenu. The computer speed is based on the skill level chosen in the options submenu. If No Match is selected correctly, 5 points are added to your score. If No Match is selected incorrectly, 5 points are deducted from your score. In a Classic game, the No Match option is available only at the Advanced or Expert levels. Timed Game In a Timed game, the object is to find all the SETs in one deck in the shortest length of time. A lower time is a better score. Cards are displayed on the screen and the clock starts counting up from zero. Find as many SETs as you can until all the cards in the deck are used. The 3 cards of each valid SET you select are replaced with 3 new cards from the deck until the deck is used up. The 3-feature game has 27 cards in the deck; the 4-feature game has 81 cards. Pressing HINT during a Timed game will add a 15-second penalty to your score. In a Timed game, The No Match option is only available at the Advanced or Expert level. Puzzle Game In a Puzzle game, you are shown only one screen of cards and must find all the SETs possible on the screen. You must reuse the cards on the screen to find all the different SETs. A lower time is a better score, with the clock starting to count up from zero. The number of SETs available and the number of SETs found are displayed at the top of the screen. There are four total SETs for the 3-feature game and six total SETs for the 4-feature game. The game ends when the last correct SET is found. Press VIEW to toggle between the game and a list of the SETs already found. To return to the game, press VIEW again. Pressing HINT during a Puzzle game will add a 30 second penalty to your score. The No Match option is not available in the Puzzle game. Arcade Game In an Arcade game, you are given a time limit to find as many SETs as you can. The clock counts down from the initial time limit. The initial time limit is is based on the skill level setting for the game: 10 minutes for Beginner, 6 minutes for Intermediate, 4 minutes for Advanced, or 2 minutes for Expert. Within each game, there are levels. After each level is passed, time is added to the time limit. The amount of time added is based on the skill level setting. For every two SETs found, the game moves to the next level, with less and less time added to the time limit as you increase in game levels. The Arcade game is scored by the number of SETs found. The higher the number of SETs, the better your score. No points are deducted for incorrect SETs. 5, 10, 15, or 20 seconds is subtracted from your play time each time you use HINT in this game. The number of seconds subtracted increases according to the skill level chosen. The No Match option is only available in an Arcade game at the Advanced or Expert level.
