In Balloon Pop, your goal is to make groups of balloons that are all the same color or all have a symbol. When a group is scored, all of its balloons pop and your remaining balloons float upward to take their place and form new groups to score. But be careful! You must balance choosing the perfect balloon set with having flexibility in placing it. Combine your scoring cleverly to clear the rows and columns of your player board, and float to victory! -description from the publisher
