How to Play
Swap two gems to make a row of three or more of the same type.
Matches clear from the board and give points.
Creating bigger patterns unlocks special boosters:
- 4 in a row → rocket booster 🚀
- L-shape → cross-clearing booster ✖️
- 5 in a row → rainbow jewel 🌈 that clears all gems of one type
Collect gems to unlock bonus jewels, which you can place on the board for extra help.
Some levels set goals like reaching a score, collecting special gems, or clearing tiles within limited moves.

Review
Microsoft Jewel 2 takes the familiar match-3 format and adds extra layers of strategy. Instead of mindlessly swapping gems, you need to think carefully about each move, especially since the board does not refill automatically. Special boosters and bonus jewels add variety, while clear objectives provide motivation to progress. It’s a solid choice for players who enjoy puzzle games and want something that can be played casually yet offers enough challenge to stay interesting.
