Look at the screen to see where you might have, for instance, a blue, red and blue gem in a row, then a blue gem in the next row over from the red gem. Click the blue gem in the adjacent row, then the red gem to swap places. When the three blue gems are lined up, they explode and disappear adding new gems at the top of the game. This lineup is worth 1,200 points.

Continue swapping gems to make lines of three or more. If you make a line of five same color gems, you get a fireball. This fireball can be released on any color gem around it by clicking it and the gem to wipe out all gems of that color.
