A festive gaming machine has appeared in the City Square in which everyone can try their luck and get rare items required to exchange in the Curiosity Shop.

- Mini-Game Description

**Magical Items** is a Match 3 type mini-game. In Magical Items, the goal is to drop a certain item, unrelated to the crystals, off the screen.

The items you are trying to drop are the event tokens, which can then be used in the Curiosity Shop. This mini-game will reset in Rank at the beginning of a new event. **Magical Items** is located near the other mini-games in the Main City and right of the Cabaret in the Upper City (see Mini-Games Gallery for photos).

Like other event-specific mini-games, this mini-game requires special items or keys to play. These "keys" are supplied by the current Event Location and occasionally as rewards for various game activities (totems, good monsters, etc).

## Ranks

All event-specific mini-games, including this one, will increase in rank twice as quickly as any other location or mini-game. This mini-game will reset in rank at the beginning of a new event.
This table shows the energy, experience, and coins for each rank of the **Magical Items** mini-game.

## Gameplay

The objective of the Magical Items mini-game is to drop all the event tokens off the bottom of the board. The player will swap two adjacent crystals to make a set of 3 or more crystals of the same color. The matching set will clear and more crystals will drop from the top of the game board. As matching sets of crystals are cleared from below the event tokens, the event tokens will drop. On the left side of the screen is an icon showing how many more event tokens need to be gathered. When the player gathers all the event tokens, the game ends. These event tokens can then be used in the Curiosity Shop.

Magical Items is similar to Excavations in that players are trying to gather event tokens, however Excavations uses an "uncover the item" methodology.

## Changes From Crystals

As stated, you are trying to gather all the event tokens rather than yellow tiles. Up to two event tokens will be placed on the board at one time. If one token is successfully removed, a new token will appear until the required amount is achieved. The event tokens cannot be matched with any item, including a Supercrystal. This can cause them to be a detriment, even though they are the objective of the game.

In general, less colors of crystals appear at any one time than in Crystals. Most games use four or five colors at most. This makes creating the tools on the board easier, and more frequent. Obstacle Tiles appear much earlier than in Crystals. Chains can appear as early as Rank 3.

## Strategy

> *For basic gameplay, see the Match 3 Basics page.*
>
>

* Rather than Bombs, or even Supercrystals, **vertical Lightnings** should be prioritized if a player sees a chance to match 4 in a row. Because of their nature, it is possible to instantly drop the event tokens down to the bottom of the screen.
* Bombs are in general, more useful than in the Crystals game; they have a high chance of making the event tokens drop when matched properly.
* Supercrystals by themselves are a lot less potent; but when swapped with a Lightning will often drop both event tokens on screen.
* Remember, it is not necessary to remove all the obstacles (Stone, Ice, Chain, etc) to complete the game.
* If you run out of moves and the board shuffles automatically, it does not change the location of the event tokens.
* The Bomb, when used as a Tool, will always be placed near an event token.
* The Discover's Magnifier will break a tile or remove a crystal below one of the event tokens.
