I'm at Level 87 and still liking it! With each game the board changes and so I am not bored (oh, sorry, it's late). The music is bouncy and there are about 4 alternating tunes. I was relieved that there is a minimum amount of Hidden Object scenes and there is not much to building on the different islands. I like to just play M3, not have to stop and perform meaningless tasks. This is a challenging and fun game!
I recommend this game!

...but I am loving it anyway! This is not a relaxing, click-click M3 game. It begins like most of them, we have to match three tiles, so I played on semi-timed. Within a few games I changed to untimed and that is still difficult because there are little boxes of several tiles with arrows and it is difficult to match them. My strategy is now to match those little boxes first because they have to be watched. There is so much going on including turning the blue tiles to beige and collecting a certain amount of each resource but the board becomes incredibly busy, keeping not only my eyes but also my head spinning. Yet I bought it and like it even though the music is repetitious and the graphics aren't changing. If you are looking for a more exciting M3 game, please try this one but be sure to play to the end of the trial.

Liked this game so much. The Art Deco furniture and designs in all the rooms, including the ruined mansion, were beautiful. There were clever and different types of puzzles and the HOS were not as boring as other games. I read a lot and love the classics but found this game to be better than the original book! Looking forward to future games by this developer.

I enjoy what I call up and down solitaire and keep several games on my desktop. Been playing some of the classic ones and experiencing a bit of burn-out so this was a welcome game. It doesn't quite come up to Seven Seas or Chronicles but it is good nevertheless. Progressively more difficult; shopping for dragon helpers and experience; about 4 different types of music (guitar, Renaissance, etc.); wild cards; and immediate replay of a hand. I bought it after 30 minutes so there is probably more to it. Unfortunately, it was not included in today's sale but I had a coupon that needed to be used. As always, don't listen to reviewers, try it yourself!

This is one M3 game that must have been developed by a true M3 fan. It is virtually perfect: music, visuals, modes and different tasks at almost every level. Replayability? It will stay on my desktop for a very long time...

I did the beta on this game and have been waiting for it to be offered on BF and here it is! Lots of fun stuff going on with power-ups automatically on the board and others to be earned, building the town, bonuses and nice music to keep the head bobbing while the mouse hand is clicking. Both timed and untimed modes and a choice for the tutorial. Very colorful and easy to see the artistic game pieces. If you're tired of the boring M3 games offered on social media sites, this is the perfect antidote!
I recommend this game!

Just want to add my voice to this. I've already played it through twice and it is still a wonderful game! The music is fun and the gorgeous graphics contribute to the difficulty of the game. Instead of mindlessly clicking cards, I need to look at each individual one (so beautiful!) and that, along with the strategy necessary while choosing which one to use, makes for a great experience. Thanks so much for a lovely, fun game!
I recommend this game!

I'm a fan of the previous game (Tree of Life) and own the PC and Kindle Fire versions so was glad to beta Atlantis. There are 140 levels with modes; I chose Adventure. I started out in the timed mode but decided I wanted to relax and enjoy my coffee this morning so switched to Zen without losing anything of my previous game. Also, Zen and Timed are the same: lots of power ups, progressively challenging, and all-around fun. The music was nice and I usually turn off the sounds but didn't mind the "pows" in this game. The graphics are pretty and there is a bonus game every once in a while to help toward building. If you like Match 3 games and you're tired of the insipid social media ones that do nothing but cost you money (LOL), please try this game!
I recommend this game!

I like it. I bought it. It is different from the usual M3 game but close enough for my comfort zone. Some strategy is definitely required but so far it hasn't taxed my poor brain. Three of a kind is required but the pieces are added from the four sides of the board. It becomes progressively more challenging as extra colors are added but there is no timer (yay!) and the music is soothing, what I think of as "medieval string music," so I don't feel like I'm clenching my jaw while playing. As always, it is best to try it and see if it is for you.
I recommend this game!

I originally bought this game for my PC in 2007. I loved it then and I love it now that I have recently purchased an android and was able to find the game. It seems that recent mahjong games are so boring: click...click...click. The Quest Mode of MA2 is anything but boring. There is an interesting storyline, the tiles are wonderful as they change for each geographic location, and there is just something so energizing while playing. I even like the fun music. Recommended!
