Play Match Three Strategically to Earn Resources

This match three game requires strategy because when you make a match of three or more of the same type of tiles, you will earn the resources on those tiles, and you need resources to build Rome. For example, match three wood tiles to earn lumber to build a new structure. Each level is over once time runs out or you break all the plaques by matching tiles in front of them.

When you finish a level, you'll return to Rome to build a new structure if you have enough resources. Each structure requires an increasingly larger amount of resources. Gain people for your Rome by earning achievements like making a match of five of the same tiles or by earning 10,000 points in under 10 levels.

Watch out for locked tiles that need to be included in a match to be freed. Earn great power-ups like a hammer that will break any lock or plaque on the board, lightning that destroys 20 random tiles and more. Can you build Rome in more than 100 levels?
