Description from the back cover:

It will challenge your mind, not just your trigger finger!
Drift back in time to ancient Phoenicia and challenge yourself with Columns, an addictive game played by Middle Eastern merchants centuries ago. In this mesmerizing pastime, tinker with your riches to align glittering jewels across, down, or diagonally.

As you line up colors, the gems vanish and more sparklers drop from above. The challenge increases as jewels fall more rapidly. You must quickly align them before the columns reach the top. For additional challenge, try Flash Columns, where you must make the flashing jewel disappear before your time runs out.

With 3 degrees of difficulty and 10 different levels, Columns will challenge a novice to an expert.
Three musical backgrounds to choose from.
Five types of blocks to manipulate.
Two player option puts you head to head against a friend with Gear-to-Gear™ Cable.
