How to play Match Masters

There are a total of 5 rounds, and players take two turns in each of them. You can use the ability to shuffle the board once per match and use the hammer once to destroy the block of choice. For each block removed, you’ll earn points, and at the end of 5 rounds, the player who’s scored the most wins.

When you come up with 3+ tile-matching combos, an extra move is earned, which can make a huge difference in the final scoreboard. Therefore, you should always keep an eye out for these combinations whenever an opportunity arises. Use your abilities whenever you’re able to trigger their activation because otherwise, it would be a wasted resource.
