Gems With Friends

Zynga has done it again! Well sorta. I’m not really sure yet. They are still riding the wave of two player turn based games with their newest additions to the “With Friends” lineup. Gems with Friends is unlike the others of its kind. Almost all of the other “With Friends” games are based on a popular board game. As far as I know, Gems is not. 

I am having a hard time explaining how you play the game. Here is my one sentence explanation. You get five numbers on different colored gems at a time, you place them on the board, match at least three of the same number together and they become one number higher and oh by the way it’s timed. I know that was terrible and you know less about the game now than before you read that. I’ll ask the App Store for some assistance…

“Gems With Friends is an all-new, fast-paced social puzzle game that is easy to learn and difficult to master. A mix of clever planning and lightning reflexes will have you combining colorful gems together in head-to-head competition with your friends. It's a different game every time!” – App Store

To be honest that’s a pretty awful description too. All I can tell you is that it’s pretty fun to start playing and the games grows on you the more you play it. Hey, its free. What do ya got to lose!
