+ <p>The goal of the game is to remove as many objects as possible in the
+ less number of moves. Objects that are adjacent to each other get removed
+ as a group. The remaining objects then collapse to fill in the gaps and form
+ new groups. You cannot remove single objects.</p>

+
+ <title>Strategy</title>
+
+ <p>The most important rule when aiming for a high score is to think ahead,
+ each group you remove will form and destroy other groups. Some tips to play
+ smartly are:</p>
+ <list>
+ <item><p>Try to remove higher groups first, unless removing another group
+ will make it larger. Vertically aligned objects can't be misaligned, but
+ horizontal arrangements can.</p></item>
+ <item><p>Since the score increases quadratically, big groups of objects
+ will score more.</p></item>
+ <item><p>If you have a choice between merging two groups of two into four
+ or, just adding one more to the group of six then, you should add the single
+ object. Even though the groups of two you are left with score no points,
+ the bigger group scores more overall.</p></item>
+ </list>
+
+ <note style="tip">
+ <p>Don't forget the thousand point bonus for clearing the board. To get 1000
+ points from a single group you need 34 objects. You are very unlikely to be
+ in a position where you have to sacrifice a group that large to clear the
+ board.</p>
