What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Jewel Master: Egypt is a simple jewel-swapping puzzle game, and that it has absolutely nothing in the way of violence, sexuality, or bad language. Players simply match jewels in lines of three or more on a puzzle board, earning resources with which they can purchase vital elements of ancient Egyptian civilization. In fact, they might even learn the basics about the cultural and technological advancements that were integral to Egypt’s rise to historical prestige.
