The great thing about the collection of Jewel Quest games is the variety. Each gives you different challenges in different ways. Jewel Quest Heritage offers a unique twist on the Match 3 genre that encompasses quality graphics, expressive storyline and entertaining game play.

Unlike standard Match 3 games, Jewel Quest Heritage offers three types of play – traditional, swaps and limited jewels. While it may not seem much of a twist, this small change reaps big rewards and bigger challenges as you must rethink the way you normally approach this style of game. And the different boards reduce any tedium normally associated with these types of games.

The swap mode allows you to swap non-matching adjacent tiles but in limited moves while the Limited Jewels game makes you strategize how to best implement the small number of matches made possible. These two additional boards, along with the traditional way of playing, really adds a new dimension to the Match 3 game and maintains interest and increases re-playability.

The graphics and soundtrack of this game are all class, and the game does not disappoint in the plotline either. The rich tale is explained as you progress, inviting you to become an active participant to unravel the mysteries of your family tree and to rightfully present the Jewel Boards to your daughter.

There is a good tutorial included in the beginning which explains the different ways of playing each game and you can return to these whenever you need a reminder on game rules. If you take a while to make a move, one is suggested in traditional mode but really, this is a game of trial and error. Some strategies may work a treat on one level but not on another so you need to be open to trying different tactics, depending on the game type.

Once again, this Jewel Quest game does not disappoint – giving you ample entertainment and fun game play.
