I was pleasantly surprised by this Match 3. It has added a twist to the game! First I want to mention that included in this game is the story "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. Not only can you read it page by page from the main menu, but each set of levels takes place at a different point in the story. You have the option of reading a short scene, and then playing the levels in the room from that scene. So the first levels have the cold office as their background, and the second set has a background of Scrooge's bedroom.
Next the shape of the playing board changes at each level, so you don't have the same simply square each time. The object is to link three tiles or more in order to remove the green squares from the board. What's neat is that you can link in every direction at the same time, so you can link around the entire board to make fantastically long chains! It is a timed game, so you do have to watch to not get carried away, but you can earn extra lives for points. This might just make a great Christmas Classic that can get resurrected every year for the Holiday season!
