Training Guide
how to play
The game starts with a full pyramid of stones. Match stones by dragging them with your finger or tapping
the stones you want to match.
If there are no stones that can be matched, tap the Pile to obtain a hand of three stones from the Pile.
Utilize the Hold Area by dragging a stone, either from the top of the stones in your hand or the
Pyramid, to the Hold Area. The stone will be locked there until you want to match it with
another stone.
Streak Bonus: With every back-to-back match, you’ll earn more points for each match. The first
match is 50 points, followed by 100 points, 150 points, etc. up to a max of 250 points per
match. Drawing new stones from the Pile will end your streak.
Some boards are not solvable. Tap the END button if there are no more moves to make. Your score
will be submitted, and you’ll receive a time bonus. The time bonus is based on how much time is
left and how many stones are remaining in the pyramid.
(Time Bonus = 6 points * Seconds Remaining * % of pyramid cleared)

Objectives
Complete a full pyramid while building up streaks with each match, finishing as quickly as possible to earn bonus points for time remaining and any stones remaining in the Pile.
Pro Tips
1. If the Hold Area is open, you can use it to clear stones that are stacked on top of each other.
2. Tap the END button if there are no more moves in order to end the game, submit your score and receive
a time bonus.
3. You can use the undo button after drawing Stones to get a peek ahead in the Pile. Use this in
combination with the Hold Area to create a match you weren’t previously able to make.
4. Go through the Pile at the beginning of the game to plan your streaks. If you have a 0 score you can redraw without penalty. (you will not get a negative score)
5. Don't always make every match as soon as you can, and instead try to save them to extend your
streaks.
6. If you use the top stone in your hand (either match or move to the Hold Area), the bottom stone in
your hand will be at the top of your hand the next time you’ve gone through the Pile.
7. Try to make matches on the lower levels of the pyramid first to maximize the number of stones you
uncover.
8. It is usually better to make matches using stones on the pyramid before using stones from the Pile.
9. Be conservative about putting stones in the Hold Area so you don’t get stuck.
10. Sometimes you may have to end a streak to ensure that you can clear the pyramid.
