"The rubies and emeralds sparkle as you move a stone to make rows of three like jewels. When three are in sequence, they vanish and the surrounding gems move into the empty space in the same manner that a row is cleared in a hardy game of Tetris. It is, in essence, a take-off of the legendary masterpiece as the goal is to clear the board by strategy and making the maximum bang for your moves.
