You Must Build a Boat. Top 13 match-3 games other than Candy Crush Saga

You Must Build a Boat is a gem among match-3 games, which may not feature spectacular graphics, but makes up for it with the gameplay design. We play a hero on a boat, who has to expand the vessel to save himself and the creatures caught along the way (sounds a bit familiar). We traverse dungeon to earn treasures which allow us to expand the old boat. Along the way, we'll face enemies and traps.

At this point, the match-3 mechanics enter the fray. Combining three items of the same type, we perform a certain action. It can be an attack, defense, a spell or even bypassing a trap. This way, the developers have created a turn-based game that uses a seemingly simple gameplay model. In fact, however, we need to plan our actions in advance, rather than just put the symbols next to each other.
