Every once in a while BFG slips a hidden gem of a game into the mix. Although the game is sort of a match 3 game, it really is more of a puzzle.

Every once in a while BFG slips a hidden gem of a game into the mix. Although the game is sort of a match 3 game, it really is more of a puzzle.

It seems that since finding this game yesterday, I have spent hours trying to solve the puzzle of how to make those danged tiles go away. The great thing about this game is that it gets progressively more difficult and one has to think of the best next move.

The game has colorful stones to remove from the board and it also has very calming and lovely background music. I ended up playing this game until 1am because I couldn't tear myself away from solving the mystery of my current level.

If you like match 3 and puzzle type games, I would highly recommend that you give this one a try. What seems deceptively easy for the first levels gets so much better. Show less

I recommend this game!

There are a total of 60 levels in this game with level 46 being the hardest. This game is basically a clone of the game Brickshooter Egypt, one of my favorite games of all time. Stones of Rome does add obstacles but doesn't have the variety of layouts that Brickshooter has nor the challenge. If you like this game, please give Brickshooter Egypt a try.

There are a total of 60 levels in this game with level 46 being the hardest. This game is basically a clone of the game Brickshooter Egypt, one of my favorite games of all time. Stones of Rome does add obstacles but doesn't have the variety of layouts that Brickshooter has nor the challenge. If you like this game, please give Brickshooter Egypt a try. It is an older game and is no longer listed in the Big Fish games list. You can find this game by Googling Brickshooter Egypt and look for the Big Fish site. All games that Big Fish has offered in the past and no longer list can be found in this way. I'm not sure why they don't advertise this fact. Enjoy! Show less

I like it. I bought it. It is different from the usual M3 game but close enough for my comfort zone. Some strategy is definitely required but so far it hasn't taxed my poor brain. Three of a kind is required but the pieces are added from the four sides of the board.

I like it. I bought it. It is different from the usual M3 game but close enough for my comfort zone. Some strategy is definitely required but so far it hasn't taxed my poor brain. Three of a kind is required but the pieces are added from the four sides of the board. It becomes progressively more challenging as extra colors are added but there is no timer (yay!) and the music is soothing, what I think of as "medieval string music," so I don't feel like I'm clenching my jaw while playing. As always, it is best to try it and see if it is for you. Show less

I don't remember playing a game like this before, a match 3 that you had to strategically plan where to place the tile in order to make a match of at least 3 vertically or horizontally. There are tiles on all 4 sides of the square and you use these tiles to try and remove the game tiles that are in the middle of the board.

I don't remember playing a game like this before, a match 3 that you had to strategically plan where to place the tile in order to make a match of at least 3 vertically or horizontally. There are tiles on all 4 sides of the square and you use these tiles to try and remove the game tiles that are in the middle of the board. You must match alike color tiles and a tile can only be used if it stopped by the tile on the board, and the tile color may not be available for play until you match up other tiles in front of the one you need. I know this doesn't make sense until you actually play the game. It isn't hard to play, you just need to plan out which tiles to use first for example you might use a tile from the top and bottom of one color to get to the color you need to clear the board. Each level has a few more tiles that need to be removed as well as another color added. I think this is a game you could play over and over again. Enjoy! Show less

It is really hard to figure it out for the price. I have never seen this before but couldn't get it at my old age. someone 18 years old could be able to show me how to master it. I think it could be a winner.

Makes you think ahead, keeps the brain active. Only problem I am having is when I need to quit it makes me restart back to level ten which is very frustrating when I'm up to level 16. Humm?

This isn't a match 3 by any stretch of the imagination. There is no gem/tile swapping whatsoever, but instead you slide pieces across the game board vertically or horizontally to match 3 pieces of the same type. This a straight up old school puzzle game.

This isn't a match 3 by any stretch of the imagination. There is no gem/tile swapping whatsoever, but instead you slide pieces across the game board vertically or horizontally to match 3 pieces of the same type. This a straight up old school puzzle game. The graphics are pleasant and the sounds are nice but the music is kind of uninspired. As you complete levels you reveal portions of a map, which was a nice little touch. Other than that the game is pretty basic and definitely lacking in depth. There are no extra features and the gameplay does become rather repetitive. I might come back to this one at some other time, but I don't feel any real urge to play it much right now. The game is very polished so I'd say it's still a good game if you don't mind repetitive puzzles. Show less

I love match 3 games and was excited to see a new one. That excitement quickly disappeared! Game is boring yet challenging. I think if I was it to this puzzle style of game , I would appreciate it. However, puzzle lovers give the game a try.

I don't recommend this game.
