Same Game
Clear a small group now, or build a bigger one.
How to play Same Game
Remove connected groups of two or more matching tiles. Tiles fall down and empty columns close up. Larger groups score more, and clearing the board earns a bonus. Play with the original Nickelbar rules and board drawings. Help below the game lists its keyboard and mouse shortcuts. Your current game stays in this browser tab.
- Hover or use the arrows to select a coloured group.
- Click or press Space to remove it.
- Clear as much as possible before no matching groups remain.
