7 Wonders of the Ancient World
This Mumbo Jumbo game started out on a casual game site.
That it has migrated to the DS implies that players liked it well enough to want
to play it off-line and that's a pretty good recommendation.
It is basically a "match three" game but with the challenge of reconstructing the 7 wonders of
the ancient world: the great pyramid of Giza, hanging gardens of Babylon, temple of Artimis,
Statue of Zeus at Olympia, Mausoleum of Maussolos, Colossus of Rhodes and the Lighthouse of Alexandria just to refresh your memory.
Each level contains building blocks, which as you free them, are carried up by a dumbwaiter
to waiting workers who carry them off.
Sometimes these workers grumble and sometimes they strike it is all very cute.
Anyway, its a long game since you need many blocks to rebuild these
edifices but it's mesmerizing and eventually you will get there.
A perfect game for when waiting or traveling it's an eye thing not a head thing.
You can purchase it from the Mumbo Jumbo casual game site, http://www.mumbojumbo.com/game/game/4
for $19.95.
You can even try it out for free.
