A game machine has appeared in the City square. This outlandish machine, shaped like a magician, presents exciting mini games to play and "Crystals" is one of them. Try your luck and use your quick wits - valuable prizes await you as a reward.

- Mini-Game Description

The **Crystals** mini-game is an arcade machine within the Center of the City. It is located near the Cards of Fate and Expedition mini-games, a bit right of and slightly lower than Expedition.

**Crystals** is a Match 3 type mini-game. The goal is to clear a certain number of **Yellow Tiles** marked on the board. This is accomplished by matching 3 or more crystals of the same color which are adjacent to the yellow tiles. The yellow tiles then break and clear.

## Ranks

Here's a table showing energy, experience and coins for each rank of the **Crystals** mini-game.

## Gameplay

The objective of the Crystals mini-game is to clear all the Yellow Tiles. 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. If the matching set of crystals is adjacent to one or more of the yellow tiles, then the yellow tile(s) break and clear. On the left side of the screen is an icon showing how many more yellow tiles need to be cleared. When the player clears all the yellow tiles, the game ends.

## Strategy

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

* The Crystals mini-game at higher ranks is often heavily reliant on random chance. Resetting the game is often better than using multiple tools from inventory. At times, failure is almost inevitable even without mistakes from the player.
* Random chance is especially prevalent when yellow tiles are in corners. It is almost entirely luck for crystals to line up to hit yellow tiles in corners.
* The Discoverer's Magnifier is best used on corners, and when there is a low amount of yellow tiles left. It will only target a single yellow tile. It only damages ice and stone tiles, rather than getting the yellow tile underneath.
* Because of the way the tools work, it may be better to avoid using them immediately, especially when hoping to swap with a Supercrystal.
* **Note that the tools are individually not very powerful! It is often best to leave them on the field until they can be combined. See 3:20 in the video below.**

## Trivia

* A quest for Crystals pops up in the Tree of Life Keeper case. You are asked to play the mini-game to find an assembler item.
* During the Halloween event of 2017, the mode "Lower the Item" was introduced to this mini-game. During the Mystery of the Christmas School event of December, 2017, this new mode was moved to its own mini-game called Magical Items.
