About SameGame
SameGame , pronounced sah-meh-gah-meh, is a simple puzzle game in which the goal is to remove all the
marbles from the screen. You can read more about the history of the game at Wikipedia , the free
encyclopedia.
How to Play SameGame
If you're new to SameGame this section will give you a quick primer.
The objective is simple: clear groups of marbles from the board - which is not as easy as it sounds. Tap a
marble in a group to remove the group. Points are accumulated and marbles fall down to fill in gaps.
Overall strategy: Make it so you have a lot of marbles touching, and then eliminate them.

Gameplay Modes
When you begin a new game, you choose between two modes of gameplay: Classic and Endless. Following
are the basics of each mode.
Classic Mode
In Classic Mode, the objective is simple: clear the board - which is not as easy as it sounds. Tap on a marble
to remove it, however it must touch at least one marble of the same color, the more marbles it touches the
more points you get. Marbles fall down to fill in gaps, then they move over to fill empty columns. If you
clear a board completely, you gain a bonus, then you progress to a new board and keep accumulating points.
This continues until you are unable to clear a board.
Endless Mode
In Endless Mode, the game board stays full because new marbles and bombs keep dropping down as you
clear old ones from the board. There are always 6 initial colors in this mode.
Bombs: If you notice a round, black, suspicious-looking device amidst the marbles on your game screen,
have no fear. These bombs help you clear the board by blowing up any surrounding marbles. Each bomb has
the potential to blow up 8 marbles! But use wisely, because if two bombs are touching, one bomb will blow
up the other bomb.
Strategy: Save bombs until later in the game, when you have exhausted most other possibilities for clearing
marbles.

Scoring
Note that scoring is much the same for both Classic and Endless Modes . In general, the number of points you
get for each set of marbles increases exponentially as you clear more marbles from the board at once.
For example, on a 3-color Classic board, tapping 2 marbles gives 1 point, 3 marbles 4 points, 4 marbles 9

points, and so on. On more challenging boards, point values may be doubled, tripled, or quadrupled, as
shown in the table below.
However, in Endless Mode:
• the game will always be played on a 6-Color Board,
• no points are awarded for marbles which have been destroyed by bombs, and
• it is not possible to clear groups of less than 3 marbles (so, no points).
Also, note that in Classic Mode, upon clearing a board you get a bonus based on the number of marble
colors. For 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-color boards, your bonus will be 500, 1000, 1500, or 2000, respectively.

Snow falls across the game board by default, and you

board help you to clear marbles by blowing them up. Each
bomb is capable of blowing up any marble which touches
the bomb, up to 8 marbles per bomb!
