Candy Crush

It will, however, stretch your brain.

Pyramid

Use your explorer instincts and find the fastest route to treasure through rows of numbered cards. In ‘Pyramid’ the rules are simple but your strategy must be deeper than the tomb of Tutankhamun. Cards on display are cleared by picking numbers from your deck that are one value higher or lower, with bonus points for longest runs and cards remaining. Hold your nerve to earn the most treasure.

Bubble Witch

Make magic by candlelight in the company of three cackling witches, sending bubbles containing eye of newt and wing of bat into steaming cauldrons. By casting spells toward the colourful clusters your aim is to burst at least three in a row. The bursts cause curious spiders to appear that bounce the bubbles for bonus points, but the spiders are easily scared if you miss a shot.

Midas Mah-jong

Relax while matching pairs of attractive Mahjong tiles, relying on a sure and steady hand guided by careful observation. While the gentle music plays your role is simply to combine two tiles of the same type to clear them away, gradually removing all parts of the pyramid. If you feel sure that there are no further matching pairs you may shuffle the pile, but do not rush into decisions.
