The player is presented with a board full of blocks and the goal is to remove them all.

To remove blocks the player simply clicks on a group of two or more blocks of the same colour.
As blocks are removed those above will fall down and fill in the empty space.
When columns are emptied the blocks will fill in from the right.
The game goes on until there are no more blocks that can be removed.
When all blocks on the board have been removed the player will move on to a new board.
The player scores for each block removed and larger groups of blocks give the most points.
Different options exist that alter the game's difficulty.
This include the size of the board (from 9x9 to 22x12) and number of colours (3-5).
It is also possible to use bombs that can blow up unwanted blocks.
The game features multiplayer for up to four players locally.
There are three different multiplayer modes: fame game, shame game and blame game.
Fame game is most similar to the single player and the player with the highest score wins.
Shame game turns it all around; here the player with the lowest score wins.
In these modes a player can colourblock the other players by clearing large numbers of blocks.
In the blame game all players play on the same board.
About Game Boy
The original Game Boy (1989) proved that handheld gaming didn't need cutting-edge graphics to succeed — its monochrome screen and legendary battery life, combined with Tetris as a pack-in, made it a cultural phenomenon. Game Boy cartridges are famously durable, so this remains one of the more accessible retro platforms to collect, though translucent color variants and complete-in-box copies with the original brick-sized manual add real value for condition-focused collectors.
Gamevaro tracks SameGame for Game Boy with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding SameGame to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GB release dates back to 1985.

Condition matters a lot for collector value: loose (cartridge/disc only), complete-in-box (CIB, with original packaging and manual) and factory-sealed copies are tracked separately because the price gap between them can be significant, especially for older releases.
