Coming February 6 to iPhone and iPad, Candy Crush Solitaire infuses the beloved card game with the colorful characters and puzzle-fueled antics of the iconic match-3 blockbuster. Two great tastes that taste great together? Sweet!
Here’s what to expect when you bite into this brilliant blend:
Know when to hold ’em
Clearing solitaire boards can be a tall task, but you’ve got an ace up your sleeve in Candy Crush Solitaire. The Hold Slot lets you set a card aside to use later in the level (incredibly powerful for ensuring you don’t get stuck). Prefer a different card? Swap it out!
Boost away
It wouldn’t be Candy Crush without some tasty treats—and indeed, familiar boosters are here to clear the way. Play a Color Bomb to remove all available cards, or smash any card on the board with the Lollipop Hammer. And that Candy Crush flavor goes beyond the board, as you “candify” postcards from around the world by completing levels. Is that Yeti picnicking in Central Park?
Score a streak
To really rake in the resources, it pays to start a streak. Fill your streak meter by clearing several cards in a row without drawing; get it high enough to unlock bonus coins, extra cards, and other goodies. And if you manage to clear cards of the same or alternating color, you’ll double your reward!
