Should I use Redux?
Dynamically draw cards or draw while loading and cache

Gameplay Brainstorm

How does the game work?
- Modes
  - Puzzle Mode
    - No Time Limit
    - Lose when errors > max
    - Complete set = + points
    - Wrong set = - points || error
  - Endless Mode
    - No errors
    - Infinite sets
    - Submit high
  - Time Attack Mode
    - Time limit
    - Infinite sets (No full deck/keeping track of remaining)
    - Make as many matches as possible
    - Guaranteed set?
- Low Hanging Fruit
  - All of it
- Extremely tall, labor intensive but awesome fruit
  - Multiplayer
    - Game rooms
    - Actual set game clone

Questions

Do I actually need a real deck? What purpose does it serve... natural balance and if I want to do multiplayer, it's proven to be fun -- sounds like a yes
How do I want to deal with # of community cards? Real game lets you add rows if no matches are found-- but why deal with it? Better solution is to never deal a no-match scenario.
- Near the end of the game, there will eventually be a no-match scenario/uneven cards... who cares, just avoid matches until there are no possibilities left. Depends how fast algo is.

MVP

Get existing logic working so I can try to time it and explicitly make improvements
Refactor to efficient code
