  • On each rating dip,
    • The score per match reduces by a factor f
• The game accumalates statistics such as
  • Highest scoring match
  • Rating
  • Number of moves
  • Time taken
• A statistics card is shown with the above accumalations at the end of the game
  • either by a win (match all cards)
  • or because of a timeout
• The game has a maximum time to win of 6 minutes
  • The timer on the panel counts down
  • The time taken on the stats panel shows the actual time taken to either
    • win
    • timeout (6 minutes)
