# Scratch cards: cards, icons and cover

Set up one or more scratch cards, choose the icons behind the cover and their prizes, and design the cover and coin.

In a **Scratchcard**, players scratch a cover to see what is underneath. **Scratch Item** is a variant with one large item to scratch.

## Cards and icons

1. Click the scratch card and open the **Content** tab.
2. Choose the **Number of cards**: 1, or 3 to 9. With more than one card, set **Scratchcards per row**.
3. With one card, choose the **Amount of icons**: 1 or 9.
4. Under **Icons**, add the icons that can appear under the cover. For each icon, choose the prize it stands for (or **Win** / **No prize**) and its **Image**. Click **Add icon** for more.

The result follows your prize settings: a winner sees the icons of the prize they won.

## Styles

- **Scratchcard**: the **Size**, the **Cover image** people scratch, the **Background** under the cover, **Clip image** and **Shadow**.
- **Icons**: the **Icon container size**, **Icon size** and, with one icon, its position.
- **Layout**: the **Gap** between cards.
- **Scratch coin**: a **Coin image** that follows the finger or mouse, and its **Coin size**.

Use the **Preview** buttons **Cover layer** and **Background / Icons** to switch between the two layers while you design.

## Settings

**Required scratch percentage**: how much of the cover must be scratched before the result is shown, from 10 to 100%. A lower number gives a faster result.

On the **Effects** tab, you can upload two scratch sounds: **Scratch one** and **Scratch two**.

## Add-ons

**Style cards individually**: give each card its own style, for example different colors. Only with more than one card.

The add-on **Style cards individually** ("Style each card separately instead of sharing one style") is only offered with more than one card.
