Human was the only option already checked. He didn’t understand what the rest were meant for and hit confirm without changing it. The following screen simply asked whether or not sexual content should be enabled. By default, it was checked on.
Beth shrugged, “Might be funny to see what it does if we leave it on.”
The others nodded and Jeff tapped to confirm. Next came a screen with gender options: Male, Female, and Random.
Abby shrugged, “We’ve got both here...”
“I wonder what random does...” Frank added.
“Lets find out...” Abby grinned as she reached over and checked the third box.
Jeff checked the other two then confirmed the entry. The next screen was labeled: “Tokens to victory,” and had a slider. The value had already been set to five.
He placed his finger on the slide and drug it to the other end. It appeared to max out at thirty.
“Don’t you think that’s a bit much?” Abby asked.
“Yea, I just wanted to see how high it went.” He explained as he slid it back down. “How about seven?”
“Works for me...” Frank replied.
Abby and Beth seemed indifferent, so Jeff hit the final confirm button. The screen went dark, then was replaced by four small circles, each with the number 1 in the center. They hugged the edge of the screen but weren’t evenly spaced. In fact, they seemed to be perfectly aligned with each person in the room. Beth leaned over to get a chip from the snack bowl. The circle closest to her followed along the edge of the display.
“Wow, this has motion tracking too?” She exclaimed as she scooped up some salsa.
Jeff guessed that there must have been sensors in the glossy bezel. There was no way something like this was only $30. The lady in that shop must have cut him one hell of a deal.
He leaned back and forth and watched his number track from side to side. “That must be our token count.”
“The instructions did say we would each start with one.”
“And I suppose those sensors are also how it figured the player count...”
While they marveled over the moving scores, Two options appeared in the center of the screen.
