Challenge yourself in Rainbow Blocks, a colorful strategy puzzle where every move counts and clever positioning leads to bigger combos and higher scores.
Rainbow Blocks Mechanics
The main objective in Rainbow Blocks is to arrange and remove blocks to earn points while preventing the board from filling up.
Players are given blocks in various shapes and colors. The task is to drag and drop these blocks onto a game grid, typically an 8x8 or 10x10 board. Each placement must be carefully calculated to form complete rows or columns.
Depending on the game version, players arrange blocks to create:
- Complete rows or columns: Blocks are placed to fully fill an entire horizontal row or vertical column on the grid.
- Matching color clusters: In some versions, players must connect blocks of the same color to form a group.
When the required conditions are met, the blocks disappear and award points.
Once a full row or column is completed - or a large enough color cluster is formed (depending on specific game rules) - those blocks are cleared from the board. This creates new space and rewards the player with points.
Block Clearing Rules
Block-clearing rules are the key factor that determines how players score points and manage space on the board.
Clearing Rows and Columns
This is the most common mechanic in block puzzle games. When a horizontal row or vertical column is completely filled with blocks, it is removed from the board.
For example, in games like Rainbow Cubes: Block Puzzle, filling a full vertical or horizontal line causes it to disappear.
Combo Chains Increase Your Score
Creating combos - meaning clearing multiple rows, columns, or groups in a single move or consecutive sequence - usually grants bonus points or score multipliers.
For example, in games like Block Champ, clearing multiple lines at once can generate special Rainbow Blocks that have the ability to clear entire rows and columns when activated.
Losing Conditions
The game ends when the player can no longer make any valid moves.
The Board Is Full
This is the most common losing condition. If there is no available space left to place new blocks, the game is over. Effective space management is essential to avoid this situation.
No Valid Moves Remaining
In some color-matching versions, the game ends when there are no more matching clusters to remove, or no possible placements that can create a full row, column, or color group.
Strategic planning and careful observation are crucial to prevent reaching a dead-end situation.
