Jewel Quest Solitaire III

Jewel Quest Solitaire III is a level-based solitaire game. The player has found the study and journal of Ratu Edward Kadanu. He has hidden a treasure, and protected the clues behind solitaire and jewel board levels. Between levels, his journal tells the story, starting with finding a strange jade tablet, assisted by Yumi Saito, only to get knocked out, the tablet stolen, and Yumi kidnapped.

The game plays similarly to Klondike solitaire. Each level has a different arrangement, but cards begin face-down in multiple piles, with the top card face up. Cards and stacks of cards can be moved as long as they are placed on a card that's one rank higher and not of the same suit. (There can be more than 4 suits in play.) There is also a stock containing the remaining cards, which are dealt three at a time. The objective is to move all cards to the appropriate foundations. There are also wildcards, which can take the place of any other rank, and power-ups. Power-ups include giving the player an extra wildcard, revealing face-down cards, shuffling the stock, and digging up buried cards, which cannot be used for anything until dug up. Power-ups are acquired by moving multiple cards to the foundation without dealing extra cards from the stock.

After every game of solitaire there is an (optional; game can be started in "just cards" mode) match-3 game. Here, the objective is to get a match on every square of the board within a time limit. The player starts with a number of power-ups based on how many they had at the end of the solitaire phase, and can get more by matching lion coins. Power-ups include completing any square, adding extra time, swapping any two gems, and collecting all lion coins, completing the squares they were on.
