► SOLVE PUZZLES AND BUILD YOUR BUSINESS Join adorably coiffed Merchant Mike and his cute corgi Milo as the pair struggle to make their way in business. Master increasingly difficult matching puzzles to earn coins and gems, then spend them on expanding and upgrading Mike’s business ventures. Start by selling street food in the park, build your own little fun fair, then move on to food truck and gift shop empires in this colorful and entertaining triple-tile match game with added entrepreneurial flare. ► INGENIOUS AND ENTERPRISING • The perfect match: Master hundreds of levels of unique matching puzzles. Can you keep making triple matches from the pile without blocking your board? It gets harder as the levels progress, and each level consists of three unique stages that you’ll need to complete to get your rewards. • The perks of doing business: Before each stage, choose from three free perks, which are either boosters to help you match tiles and complete the stage – including extra lives, boomerangs that undo your last move, and dice to shuffle all tiles – or extra gems and coins to add to your rewards at the end of the level. You can also choose the Feeling Lucky perk, which can give you regular rewards, special premium rewards, or even negative rewards – are you ready to make a risky investment? • See it through to the end: The perks go into your backpack for safe keeping until you need them, or you complete the level. Rewards accumulate over the three stages of each level but watch out: if you lose a stage then all the contents of your backpack are gone! • Invest in success: Take your rewards from completing levels and spend them to build Mike’s little business empire. Each location in the game has 15 different items to unlock for gems, and each item has three colorful upgrades, one of which is available for gems, the second for coins, and the third for completing special challenge levels. Upgrade all items to at least one-star level to unlock the next delightful location, then follow Mike and Milo to the next chapter in their entrepreneurial adventure. • Very important player: Buy a VIP pass to get unique additional perks in the game, including the magnifying glass, which lets you see behind the Feeling Lucky perk, so you know what you’re getting yourself into. ► MATCH TILES TO MAKE IT BIG Looking for a new puzzle challenge that’s easy to play, hard enough to keep you engaged, and set in fun, colorful world that you’ll want to explore further?
