APPROPRIATE AGES:
9 TO ADULT

GAME:
The board consists of a 9x9 grid of Jewels. Your job is to switch two jewels at a time so as to create a row or column of 3 (or more) matching jewels.

How to Play:

Click on two adjacent jewels, which will then switch places.
You can only switch on two adjacent jewels if the swap will create a row or column of three or more jewels.
If you create a row or column of 3 or more identical jewels, those jewels will disappear and new jewels will fall down.
The game is over when there are no more rows or columns to be made.

Hints:

You cannot switch the location of two jewels if the move will not create a column.
You can only switch the location of two adjacent jewels, meaning they are side by side, or in an up/down position.
Sometimes, creating rows and columns will lead to "chain reactions" that will cause more combinations automatically. These will also disappear.

Object:
To eliminate all potential rows and columns of identical jewels. The game is over when there are no more viable combinations.
