### 5/5 — Traditional match 3 with a tavern twist

*2025-11-12, version 1.0.1*

Your traditional match three, with a fun story and some surprising hidden strategies. What it lacks is all the annoyances of modern match three with obstacles and excessive grind. 

Tavernwood lets you pick up a quick round or two while waiting for the bus, or other down times you have throughout the day. A fun story, and other modes if you want fewer distractions.
