About the Shuffler/Randomizer Mode:

The Shuffler/Randomizer Mode plays with a board game like progression. It picks a few randomly chosen games and each game plays for 3 rounds with the 3rd round playing at a faster speed. The main goal of Shuffler Mode is to get as high of a cumulative score as possible between the chosen games. The games are all designed to work well within this mode by keeping the controls and game mechanics simple, yet still be engaging and fun.
