Unique matching in all directions
A highly entertaining and unique kind of matching game where you draw a line (link) between at least 3 matching icons. And what?s fun is that instead of being limited to just horizontal and vertical matching, you can match in any direction, and double back on yourself, ending up with long chains for bigger bonuses.
It took my brain a minute or two to get the hang of it (as instructions are seldom as comprehensive as they can be), and it?s now become one of my favorite kinds of matching games. Start with the normal matching of 3 or 4, but notice that the "string" linking the tiles can go in all directions, including diagonally, and that you can head off in one direction to link, say candy canes, double back, and continue the string in another direction to make a giant match. That's what really tickles your brain and makes this intriguing, but not hard. Your links--matches can swoop through the playing board like a giant "C," "S," or any other shape. Can't do that with your average matching game.
There are power-ups to help out if you get stuck, as once in awhile you get that one tile that's in a tricky spot. Each level has a slow timer, but I found the time given sufficient. As to the title of the game, while it started with a condensed review of the book ?A Christmas Carol? about Ebenezer Scrooge, the matching games didn?t seem to have anything to do with the story except for the background artwork.
Great holiday entertainment value. I'll still play this after the holidays because of the unusual linking--matching game play.

Totally Entertaining and Challenging!
This is my favorite Match-3 game of all the ones I've played. Upper levels are really tough to master, Level 5-5 will drive you nuts before you succeed (it can be done)!
I have played this game for over two years and still enjoy the challenge it offers.
Good graphics, good play, good game.

not easy, but fun!
i love this game. It will start off easy and it probably is easy to others but I get stuck. But it is addictive. Give it a try.
