Did I tell you I am not a great fan of match-3 puzzles? But since now I am. Twenty minutes ago I discovered the game that has turned my attitude to matching puzzles upside down. It’s Caribbean Hideaway presented by Big Fish Games. First, it blends the concepts of matching puzzle and strategy game. And secondly, it offers an utterly new concept of matching.

Strategy element: you’re a pirate who finds himself on an island in the Caribbean. So, you’re to construct new buildings like smith, dock, jewel shop and create your own pirate civilizations.

Puzzle element comes to life when you start to put your intentions into reality. You will have to create matches of three of more identical elements when they’re placed in one row or column.

So, why do I call this game utterly new? FORGET ABOUT SWAPPING OBJECTS TO CREATE MATCHES. In Caribbean Hideaway, you will have a spare object in your hand, and you’ll have to place it near two identical elements in place of other element originally located there.

More than that, on every level you’ll have to perform an additional task like getting rid of blue cells, swapping objects of a particular type(say, chests). The poins(oops, I mean coins) you’ve earned on a level will help you construct more buildings and get your pirate civilization running!

Did I mention the game has cute pirate characters, and is full of hair-raising stories?
