About this game
Bejeweled 3 returns to the traditional match three formula after the slightly different spin off Bejeweled Twist .
As in previous games, the player is presented with a board filled with gems of different colours.

The aim of the game is to remove gems from the board by swapping adjacent gems so that a chain of three or more gems is created.
New gems will then be generated at the top of the screen and fall down in the empty spaces.
This can lead to a chain reaction when gems fall down and create new matches.
New in Bejeweled 3 is that the player can continue swapping gems during a chain reaction.
There are some special gems; flame gems are created from a match of four gems and explode when matched, thereby removing surrounding gems.
A match of five gems will create a hypercube which can be matched with any adjacent gem and then destroy all gems of that colour.
Star gems are created by T- or L-shaped matches and destroy all gems that are right, left, up and down of the it.
The game has four game modes: classic, zen, lightning, and quest.
Classic is the original concept known from previous games.
It is untimed and ends when no further moves are possible.
The zen mode is meant for relaxation and has no end.
Here the player can turn on various audio-visual effects.
These are breath modulation, ambient sounds, mantras and binaural beats.
Lightning is a timed mode and ends when the time is out.
The standard time is one minute but by matching special time gems more time is added.
The quest mode consists of a number of challenges.
The player has to activate relics and each challenge corresponds to a relic.
There are also four additional secret modes that are extended versions of quest mode challenges.
These are poker, butterflies, ice storm, and diamond mine.
In poker mode, the player has to make poker hands with gem matches.
For example, two of a gem type is a pair.
The butterflies mode has special butterfly gems that move up from the bottom.
These have to be matched before
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks Bejeweled 3 for Nintendo DS 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 Bejeweled 3 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 NDS release dates back to 2011.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
