LINES 7 BY 7

Usually, balls are used as elements in games like this. However, here their role is successfully coped with by multi-colored squares. However, the shape of the elements does not play a special role. The abbreviation 7 by 7 in the game name indicates the size of the playing field. Here it is a square measuring 7 by 7 cells-cells. The word lines in the title indicates that the squares that appear on the field must be drawn in lines of a certain length. And now for more details.

So, the player must make lines of one-color squares. A line is defined as a chain of squares of the same color standing next to each other vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. The line formed in this way disappears from the field, freeing up playing space. Its minimum length is four elements. For example, four yellow squares placed in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row in adjacent cells will disappear. The longer the line is drawn, the more points the player gets when it disappears.

To build lines, you need to rearrange the squares, making them together. You can only move one square in one turn. The rules of the game are such that if no full-fledged lines appear on the field during the next permutation, then new squares are added to its arbitrary cells.

The mechanics of rearranging squares impose the following restriction on the game. To successfully move the selected square from one cell to another, you must have a free path for this. Without delving into the essence of this restriction, we can only say that you can easily understand which square can be rearranged and which can not, for this purpose there is a special marking in the game.

With multi-pass empty permutations, the playing field is quickly filled with new squares, which make it increasingly difficult to solve the problem of drawing lines. Therefore, we do not recommend starting complex maneuvers in this regard. Build more simple lines and think a couple of moves ahead.
