PLAYED FOR YOU

Bejeweled

THE APP GAME TO TOUCH

Bejeweled is an app game and now is given a non-electronic edition for your games table. A board of 8x8 squares has room for 64 of the 78 jewel pieces; at the start you place them well-shuffled to fill the board, the special glitter jewels and surplus jewels go into the bag.

You interchange two jewels and try to form a horizontal or vertical chain of three, four or five jewels of the same color. When you form such a chain you take it off and earn coins of the same color, one coin for three jewels, two for four and three for five. Then you slide the remaining jewels in the row towards the opposite side of the board until the gap is closed; should this result in formation of a new chain you take it, and so on. Finally, you refill the board with jewels drawn from the bag, this by and by brings the special jewels onto the board. When you can take off a special jewel with a chain you score an additional point. Three such coins of the same color form scoring set. At the end of your turn you put the jewels that you have taken off the board back into the bag. If you are first to win three scorings sets you win the game. If nobody can form a chain you replace the four middle pieces on the board with new ones from the bag. When a chain is formed while refilling the board you must draw another jewel for refilling.

Very pretty to look at! Very easy to play, very attractive game play, very good game play, you really want to handle those colorful pieces and to collect them. And of course you must pay close attention, because if you miss a chain the next player can take if off the board before he does his regular turn!
