About match 3 games
Match-three games are about swapping neighbouring pieces to line up three or more of the same kind. Clear them and the board drops down, sometimes setting off a chain. Levels add goals, from collecting a certain colour to freeing trapped pieces within a move limit.
Matches near the bottom of the board cause more pieces to fall, which means more chances for chains. Making a match of four or five usually creates a special piece worth saving for a hard spot.
