Game Columns

Year 1990–1999
Genre(s) puzzle
Saga(s) Columns
Synopsis "Columns" is loosely derived from "Tetris", as it involves arranging falling blocks in such a way as to clear them. However, in "Columns" they are groups of 3 same-size but varying color blocks, which must be arranged into sequences of 3 or more, either horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Sequences of 4 or 5 count for double or triple points, and diagonal sequences score the most. The real trick is to set up "combos" - where one line causes other blocks to drop so as to create other lines.
