Your playing grid is an hexagon, and there are some marbles in the center. There are 5 stations around the grid with a marble in each one. The Object to shot your marble at the same color marbles in the grid till you get 3 or more together and hit then they disappear. You get only so many unsuccessful attempts, shown on the right in the light blue circle, then new lines of marbles appear from the inside of the grid and what is there gets pushed out.

However, I found out that if you don't remove marbles, that counts against you, even thought sometimes there is only one marble alone. This makes a lot a difference, the first time I realized this is the first time I cleared all the colors. There are 3 skill levels and 9 somewhat different variations. The first 6 variations are single person games, and the last 3 are multi player games, however in this demo version only the first game is available. This demo version will also expire in 14 days.

This is a good family game.
