Test your hand at the ancient Phoenician game of Columns. Multi-colored gems drop from the top of the screen into a pit and it is up to you to quickly arrange the order of the jewels as they fall into lines of three or more. If your gems pile up and reach the top, the game is over.

Go back in time to a bygone civilization, the ancient world of Phoenicia. And play the game that originated among the Phoenician merchants - Columns- It's incredibly captivating. You'll find yourself losing track of time. Yet it's very simple. You don't have to be a game whiz to play at the hardest level.

Columns of sparkling, rainbow-color jewels drop one after another. Arrange 3 or more jewels of the same color horizontally, vertically or diagonally and remove them from the play screen. If the columns pile up to the top, the game is over. If you have the urge to challenge something different, try Flash Columns.
