You get your money's worth in this game. Over 50 hours in and I've completed the game but have not gotten all the achievements. In addition to the main game, the pre-made levels, there are also bonus games: mahjong,, super size levels, challenge levels, two-match solitaire levels, and solitaire variants including favorites like Klondike, Spider, Freecell, and Pyramid. And they give you a ton of those bonus levels, enough for a full game by itself.

The main game is played by what is sometimes called up/down solitaire where you match cards based on if their number is higher or lower. For instance, say you have a 5 in your deck. You can match that with either a 4 or a 6. The fun part of this style of solitaire is making chains, long runs where you keep matching until you have to draw. An example of a chain is: 5, 6, 7, 6, 7, 8, 7, 6, 5, etc. going up and down stratigically.

The Collector's Edition content includes a whole extra game! Plus more bonus levels and solitaire variants to unlock. So you get basically two games in one. Definitely worth the money.

A fun feature are the Fish Quests that unlock as you progress along. Each Quest has a certain number of things to do in order to unlock that fish, usually a mahjong level, a super size level, a challenge level, or a solitaire variant. Once those levels are completed the new fish is unlocked and will appear in the background and on the Castle building screen.

That's another feature of Jewel Match games: building Castles. Each game has, I think, five castles, so with the CE levels that would make ten castles altogether. You build the castles piece by piece by buying them with the green jewels you find in the solitaire levels. When you have enough it takes you to the castle screen and you choose between several building choices.

Difficulty Options: I played on easy or casual, whatever it's called, which is untimed and wild cards appear more often. There is also a timed version and a hard version where wild cards do not appear very often. You choose how you like to play, and you can change it at any time. Play one level on easy and the next on hard, whatever you like to do.

The music is calm and soothing in this game, I like it and find myself humming it after I'm done playing and I go about my day.

There are various card backs to choose from and a few card fronts.
