Game Goal

The goal of the game is simple: score more points than your opponent and win!

Basic Rules:

Fairness

Each match of Party Blast is played against another player to see who can get the highest score.

• Both players get the same board shape with the same Objectives.

• Placement of Tiles is randomized each match but is the same for both players.

Scoring

For all boards, great scores will generally fall in the 8,000-9,000 point range. Any score over 10,000 is amazing!

There are three sources of points in Party Blast:

1. Base Score

2. Power-up Meter

3. Time Bonus

Base Score:

• Earned by clearing Objectives. 

• Each board has 1,200 points divided evenly between all of the Objectives, rounded to 5.

Base Score Bonuses:

• Receive Double Points for each Objective cleared after the first in the same move.

• Receive a Combo Bonus for clearing at least five Objectives in the same move:

  • 5 Objectives = +10 points

  • 10 Objectives = +25 points

  • 15 Objectives = +50 points

  • 20 Objectives = +100 points

Power-up Meter: 

• Filled by using Power-ups. 

• Multiplies your Base Score based on which Star is reached:

  • 1st Star = 2x Base Score

  • 2nd Star = 3x Base Score

  • 3rd Star = 4x Base Score

• Stronger Power-ups fill the meter faster, Power-up Combos fill it the fastest. 

• Each board requires a different number of Power-ups to be used in order to fill the meter.

• Keep your eyes on it and make sure you’ve filled it before clearing all Objectives!

Time Bonus:

• +10 points per second for each second remaining.

• Time Bonus is not multiplied by the Power-up Meter.

Strategy

To get a high score, follow these four simple steps:

1. Combine groups of 5 or more same color blocks to create Power-ups.

2. Use Power-ups to clear as many Objectives as possible with each move.

3. Before clearing all Objectives, completely fill the Power-up Meter.

4. Do all three steps above as quickly as possible.

The largest contributor to your score is the Power-up Meter:

• Has the potential to quadruple your Base Score by completely filling it. 

• Always make sure that you fill the Power-up Meter before clearing all Objectives.

The next largest source of points is your Base Score:

• Use Power-ups to clear as many Objectives as possible with each move.

• This not only rewards Double Points for each Objective cleared after the first, but can also reward a much larger Combo Bonus.

• Try to avoid clearing Objectives with Tile matches so there are more Objectives left on the board to clear as part of a Combo.

You can also play cash games to watch replays and learn your opponent's strategies.

Finally, practice makes perfect! Party Blast is a game of skill; the better you are, the more you win.
