How to play: The Merge Board

Fill the orders

→

Make what the guests at the top ask for, then tap Deliver.

Orders pay Coins and XP. Story orders also pay Stars.

Spend Stars on the hotel's tasks to restore Villa Azzurra.

Make items

Tap a generator to make an item in the nearest empty square.

Most generators use 1 Energy per tap.

Merge

+=

Drag an item onto an identical one: they merge into the next level.

Drop it anywhere else to move it, or swap it with what's there.

Higher levels are worth more in orders.

Energy

Energy refills 1 every 2 minutes, up to 100.

Every level-up refills your Energy to the top.

Trees and other charge generators use charges instead, and recharge with time.

Crates and fog

A merge right next to a crate opens it.

Fogged squares open as your level rises.

Bubbles

A merge of level 4 or more sometimes leaves a bubble copy.

Free it with Pearls or a video within 60 seconds to keep it.

Selling

Sell an item you don't need for Coins. You can undo it for 10 seconds.

Generators can't be sold.

The Bag

The Bag keeps items off the board until you need them.

More slots cost Pearls.

Levels

Merges and orders give XP. A full bar is a level-up.

Each level-up gives a Pearl; every 2nd, 5th and 10th also gives a chest.

There's no losing on the board: take your time.

More orders

From level 15 four orders show at a time, from level 28 five.
