Board size and how many gifts
How grid size and gift count interact, and what makes a board feel worth playing.
Two numbers shape the game: how many cards are on the board, and how many of them the shopper flips.
Grid size
The total number of cards shown. A 3×3 board of nine cards is the default and works for almost everyone: big enough to feel like a choice, small enough to fit a phone screen without scrolling.
Flips
The number of cards the shopper turns over, which equals the number of gifts you configured. It is not a separate setting: add three gifts and they flip three cards.
Why the ratio matters
The gap between cards shown and cards flipped is where the feeling of choice lives. Nine cards and three flips means the shopper picks three from nine and feels agency. Three cards and three flips means they turn over everything and the choice was an illusion.
On the free plan you get one gift, so the board is nine cards and one flip. That is the purest version of “pick a card” and it converts perfectly well.
What every shopper gets
The same set. Always. The cards are shuffled visually, but the prizes behind them are the ones you chose, in the order you chose. This is deliberate and it is what keeps the mechanic clear of prize-draw law. See Why there are no odds.
Mobile
Most of your traffic is a phone. Nine cards fits; sixteen starts to feel cramped and pushes the button below the fold. Test on a real device before launching.
