An Easy round starts in the Mac app. The right cup lifts to show the ball, then the cups shuffle. After the shuffle, the player presses 3 to choose the right cup. The game reveals the ball and awards 10 points for the correct pick. This recording shows the realistic cup movement included in the first release.
