We thought we'd share a little brain-twister of game with you, today. It involves highly advanced intelligence and strategy to play. We know this because a certain precocious six year old young lady (grand-daughter) keeps kicking our butt at it.

If you want to test yourself, check out Rock Diamonds. It is a deceptively simple game of matching colors and numbers. All you have to do is match either the color or the number or both of 55 diamond shaped tiles. Easy to learn, hard to do (unless you are a six-year old mental giant.)

You start out with eight or so big diamonds that you can click on, each tile that you match is removed from the board and replaced by another tile until you clear the level. Another important strategy is that both color and number matches yield 100 points, number matches 50 points, color matches 25 points, and no match docks you 75 points. So it behooves you to take your time and plan your strategy. If you want to be able to mark on the high score board you'll have to register with Tornado game which is probably a good idea and not too painful.

We like this game because it's puzzle game that anyone can enjoy. Although we think it's biased toward certain six year old genius children.
