The goal of the game is simple, clear all the tiles from the game board. However, trying to remember where all the specific colors exist is the difficult part. You will only be able to see the colors surrounding an empty tile you select. You can customize your game options, including number of colors, turning the timer on/off, and/or including move limits.
