Hello games fans, “Match N Starter” is an entertaining, tricky numbers game that you are sure to enjoy for a long time. The rules of the game are very simple and quickly explained. To reach the next level in the game, you simply have to remove all the number elements from the playing field. You can do this by selecting two identical numbers or two numbers with a fixed sum (which is specified for a game level) and removing them from the playing field. The two number elements to be selected must lie in a row, column or diagonal with no other number element between them. You can also select pairs of number elements, one on the far right and the other on the far left in a row or one at the top and the other at the bottom in a column, to be removed from the playing field. Special functions in the game can also be used to advance on the playing field: - Duplication of the number elements - Reshuffle all number elements - Swap the positions of two number elements - Display a possible pair of number elements to remove As you can see, the rules of the game are very simple, but make no mistake, in higher levels of the game, with more and more different numbers on the playing field, it can quickly become quite tricky!
