Gem Trio Match 3 Game

Gem Trio is a match 3 game played on an 8×8 board of gems in six colours, each with its own shape so they are easy to tell apart. Swap two neighbouring gems to make a line of three or more of the same kind across or down. The line clears, the gems above fall into the gap and new ones drop in from the top.

When falling gems form new lines by themselves, that is a chain. Each step of a chain multiplies its points by the chain number, so the second clear in a chain is worth double, the third triple and so on. Longer lines are worth more too. A swap that does not make a match slides straight back and costs nothing.

Each game gives you 30 moves. When they run out you see your final score, and your best score is kept in this browser. If the board ever has no possible move left, it reshuffles on its own. Stuck for ideas? Press Hint, or wait a few seconds and a possible move will start to glow.
