The settings screen is where you set all the options for KVITLECH. This screen is automatically shown at the beginning of each new game. It can also be accessed from the main screen by clicking on ‘Settings’ under the ‘Options’ menu item.

• Number of players: (from 1 to 5) If only one player is selected the computer will play as the second player.
• Player’s names:
• Sets of cards: (from 2 to 10) This option sets the size of the deck of cards KVITLECH uses. Each set represents 12 cards (with face values of 1 through 12). The more sets you use in a deck the harder it becomes to figure out what the next card is likely to be (a.k.a. card counting). Suppose you are the third player in a round and three 12s have already been dealt from the deck. If there were only 3 sets in the deck, you know that there are no more 12s left. On the other hand if you are playing with 8 sets in a deck, you know that you still have a fair chance of getting one.
• Deposit Amount: Amount of money each player contributes when the bank is refilled.
• Sounds:
• Show Bank’s first card: This option lets you decide if the bank’s first card is visible while the players are placing their bets. One of the reasons not to show the bank’s card is that if the bank draws a good card (like a 12) than a given player may decide not to bet against it. Hiding the bank’s first card therefore, adds more suspense to the game.
• Forcing the Bank top play first: See ‘Forcing the bank’.

KVITLECH will also save your settings and remember them the next time you start the game.
