In the screen on the left, the players are challenged to place the country by the ocean it borders. The countries In the image below, Peter has placed 4 cities into three countries and the potential point award sits at 18 points.

In the image below, Peter has checked the button. He was awarded 18 points as indicated to the right of his name and has continued by placing three more cities. However, one of them [Dublin] is incorrectly placed. Note that the program allows him to place items incorrectly. It only evaluates placements when the Check button is pressed.

In the next image, Peter had checked the button and because of the incorrect placement of Dublin, lost his turn. Dublin as well as the other cities recently placed were returned to the left and Paul has placed his selections as shown. The game will continue until all the cities are correctly placed or each player has had two turns.

Note to Authors: Game C lends itself to situations where there are multiple items per category. The maximum number of categories is 8 and the maximum number of item that can be displayed is 27, but the Author indicates the number of items that will be displayed. The Author can create a larger list of items then will be displayed, in which case the program will select a smaller set of item at random from the larger list. This allows for a different game each time it is played.
