based on demo. Each mahjong board gets you plates(coins) and gems. The gems buy the cleanup and building of places in the garden. The plates buy your power ups. I found myself having to use the shuffle button quite often. There are HOG and spot the difference mini games that give you plates. Overall it is a busy game, with lots to do. I will buy it with a credit or if on sale. It is a nice change from the standard mahjong.
Love the story. Challenge level is good, not stressful. I did find the explore the garden part too difficult. You have the option for static ornaments and turning off automatic scrolling. I admit that I prefer relax mode. So much to do, build a castle, beautify the outside if you want to, collect coins, powerups, etc. I immediately bought this game after demo ended.
Good graphics, fun, 3 colours to fill in and all based on demo. I bought it immediately. I did find the sound effects annoying, so I turned them off. Sometimes hard to figure out what the completed puzzle is, but they tell you. Sticks to the storyline. Overall a good piccross (nanogram) adventure.
I recommend this game!

I have always enjoyed these games, until now. I tried everything listed in the game forum from other members and everything listed by BF to fix the crash. Alas, nothing works. I have all the other Jewel Match games and they work wonderfully. Try it yourself as some people are not getting any crashing. I loved the winter wallpapers. Game play is smooth until level 30.

Legends of Solitaire: Curse of the Dragons
When an ancient curse is cast upon the Solitaire Kingdom, it’s up to you to defeat the dragons and put a stop to the evil spell!
Good story line, nice power-ups and a must buy for solitaire lovers. Easy to see cards, backgrounds are lovely to look at and suit the story. Similar to The Chronicles Of Emerland.
I recommend this game!

Fantasy Quest
Help four magical sprites rescue their fairy friends in this match-3 fantasy adventure.
Based on demo. No challenge after an hour. After first area is cleaned up, the game quits giving you points for winning. It says you win, but no more points awarded. Beat every board in under 2 minutes, which is supposed to earn you bonus points. It does not. Try it for yourself, maybe you'll like it.
I don't recommend this game.

Farmington Tales 2: Winter Crop
Explore snowy Dahlia Farms in this unique hidden object/farming sim hybrid! Build greenhouses and keep the farm going throughout the winter.
Stunning graphics, easy to understand, new puzzles, and same old Floyd. Last time we became Farm of the Year, this time we become something else that's beautiful (I want you to be surprised). Fun, entertaining, well worth the money. Long game play, captivating storyline and a new foe to beat. Floyd's goat's are a little hard to see in the snow, but not impossible. Try it and fall in love all over again with the characters.
I recommend this game!

I really was enjoying this game and the thinking required to piece the conveyor system back together. I only had B and C for my grades on each level. Once the minion robots started interfering, I could not complete a level. I won't buy this game because it is too hard to win. I tried the tips provided and still could not win and got too frustrated.
I don't recommend this game.

There is only timed game play. It needs to have a relaxed mode for those of us who have difficulty with our hands or eyesight. Graphics are clear and very pretty. Storyline contunues throughout the game. I like making the jewellery from the gems I colllect during the level. It does pose a challenge in that, you sometimes have to match coloured gems with the right coloured section on the jewellery. I like it better when I can choose what colours go where. Overall this is a fantastic, slightly different match 3.
