The Stories of Gold board on the Southern Plains, with the mini atlas of Africa and a Keeper arriving — Southern Plains, level 9: Lindiwe, Keeper of the Grassland Watch, arrives for the encounter.

Ten regions · twelve chapters each

Every road has its own weather, its own wildlife, its own night.

Start at the waterfall market, then choose your path: heat and sand on the Nile, monsoon on the coast, mist in the rainforest. Each region keeps its own day scene and its own night scene, and the clock keeps turning while you play.

The living world

Familiar to your hands. New to your eyes.

The matching you already know, layered with things no other match-3 does: a sun and moon that change the rules, weather that settles on the board, and scenes that breathe.

The Southern Plains by day — **By day**Heat hardens the sand faster and cranes lift off the wetlands when a cascade startles them.

The Southern Plains at night — **By night**Vertical matches glow on the moon path and score half again. Late at night, the tide floods the bottom row until morning.

Daily Caravan

One board a day, the same for every traveler in the world. Twenty-five moves. Your first finish counts; the rest is practice.

Keeper Encounters

At the end of every chapter a Keeper arrives, speaks, and sets a trial: fill the lantern with gold, or clear the seals in moon order.

Moonlight Rush, Trail Mastery, Festival Weeks

A ninety-second night run with a chain multiplier, thirty hand-set puzzles, and festival boards on real holidays across Africa and the US.
