Hi everybody, 

Nice of you to visit this text, it will give you all the basic 
information you need to know to get started. Don’t worry it's
easy so you will get the hang of it very soon !! 
 
History and gameplay:

We are visiting Jack Bright, the castle lord of a medieval castle.
He already lives there for a lot of years and the castle needs
some work. But his cash flow is a little bit on the down side so
to earn some cash he has to swap gems for it.

He has lots of them hidden in his castle but it is a real mess.
They are just piled on top of each other in no order at all.To swap
them for cash he has to sort them out ! But he can only do so if 
he has 3 or more of the same collected. 

How does he do that? Well simple, just align 3 or more gems
horizontal or vertical. For every successful swap he earns those
coins. Click the gem you van to swap with one of its neighbors
and then choose the one you want to swap. Or even better just 
drag it over the other one by holding the mouse button,
it both works...

As the coin meter reaches the top you have earned enough cash to
go to the next level. Aim of the game is to reach the biggest high
score of course.  You see, I told you so, this is an easy game to
learn and to do just make sure to make combinations that also leave
the next one to make or else No More Moves is all you get…

Exiting the game:Just click the little cross in the upper left corner
