Age of Japan is a match three game with Japanese-like symbols and music. To
make a match, you swap two items so that there is a straight line of three or
more of the same, vertically or horizontally. The object is to clear the gray
tiles by making matches over them. If there are gold tiles, you must match
them to turn them gray then match them again.

There are two game modes. In arcade mode, you can make as many moves as you
wish but you have a limited time to clear the board. In puzzle mode, you have
no time limit but you are limited in the number of moves per board. After you
make so many points, you begin to acquire brooms. Brooms are used to remove
the item in one tile but they do not remove the gray or gold under the tiles.

As you progress through the levels, you gain bonuses. These include double or
triple point bonuses that double or triple the points of any match they are
in. Also, there is the bomb. This, when matched, destroys all the items that
surround it. You also have the multicolor that can replace any item when
making matches. One rather nice bonus is quake. This destroys all items that
are paired together with a like item, anywhere on the board.
