Gameplay
-
The youngest player goes first.
-
On your turn, you will try to swap Candies to match 3 or more of the same!
Example: If you swap the green candy with the orange candy. Like this: the swap creates a row of matching Candies. This is called a Blast!
3-Blast
When you match 3 Candies, remove them and keep 1.
4-Blast
When you match 4 Candies, remove all Candies in that row or column. Keep 1 Candy of the matched type and 1 different.
5-6-Blast
When you match 5 or 6 Candies, remove all the Candies of that type from the board and keep 2.
Box-Blast
When you match 5 Candies in the shape of T, L, or +, you form a Box-Blast. Remove all matching Candies as well as the Candies that form a box around it. Keep 1 Candy of the matched type and 1 different.
Important! If there are 2 or more Blasts at the same time, choose 1 to solve before the other.
No Blasts?
If all players agree that no Blasts can be made, do not swap any Candies. Instead, take 1 Candy from the Bag and swap with 1 Candy of a different type from the board, trying to make a Blast. Then, put the replaced Candy in the Bag.
Now, one of the following will happen:
- A) You made a Blast, so you can resolve it.
- B) No Blast was created, so your turn ends.
Every Time You Make a Blast
- Remove those Candies from the Board. Keep the Candies based on the Blast you made and discard the rest near the board.
- Tilt the board in your direction. The Candies will slide down, leaving empty spaces.
- Release the board so that it goes back to its initial position.
- Take Candies from the Bag without looking at them and fill all empty spaces from bottom to top. You may make new Blasts after you place new Candies on the board! If that happens, repeat the steps 1 to 4 until there are no more Blasts.
- Return the discarded Candies to the Bag, ending your turn. The player to the left then takes their turn.
Important! If you can't refill the board, use the discarded Candies. If that's not enough, all players must choose 2 of their Candies and put them back in the Bag.
