Match3 games are a type of puzzle game in which players play by eliminating a certain amount of identical game elements, such as fruits, gems, animal avatars, block mahjong tiles, etc., so that they are paired next to each other to win. Usually three of the same elements are paired and eliminated, so these games are also called triple elimination games.
The interface of Match3 games is mainly a bunch of game elements that look chaotically arranged, which originated from some games such as Tetris in the late 1980s, and elimination games became popular in the 2000s with the spread of puzzle games on the Internet, especially the gemstone block series.
