## What is Turnstone?

Every merge game gives you one box. Turnstone gives you an hourglass — and lets you flip it.

You're a gemcutter dropping stones into the lower bulb of a great brass hourglass. Match two equal gems and they merge into a finer cut, Grit all the way up to the Regal Stone. Every merge banks sand in the TURN meter, and when it fills you may do the thing no other merge game lets you do: turn the entire glass. The pile you built pours back down through the narrow waist, stones collide and cascade, and everything is reborn below.

• Eleven cut gems: Grit, Quartz, Citrine, Garnet, Amethyst, Peridot, Topaz, Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald and the Regal Stone
• Merges inside the waist score x2 — every pour is a merge festival
• The Regal Stone is wider than the neck: turn the glass with one on board and it is CUT at the waist for a huge facet-shower bonus
• The pile setting in the shoulders ends the run — turning the glass is also your relief valve, so hoard the sand or spend it
• Drag to aim, release to drop; one finger, no timers
• Best-score chase, instant restarts
• Fully offline, nothing collected

Time is a vessel. Turn it.
