Thread Pop
Read full descriptionHide full description
Spools of colored thread sit on the board. Tap a spool to release only the front strand. When three strands of the same color gather, they combine and are cleared from the rack. If no matching strands are available, they remain in the tray. Clear every spool before the tray fills to complete the level.
