First, they get immediately dismissed as evil by ideologues, just because they killed humans for sacrifice and also cut off the heads of human sacrifices and also they played basketball with the cut off heads of the human sacrifices. If you're going to be hacked to death by itinerant rainforest Indians, there are worse ways to go.You know who get a bad rap? Mayans. It'll keep you busy for a fair old while, as the solitaire hands get progressively more difficult, as do the Jewel Quest interludes, and each serves to keep the other feeling fresh.

The number of swaps you have is directly linked to how well you did in the prior hand of solitaire, so do well and you'll have plenty of swaps to turn the board gold. You re-arrange the jewels on the board by selecting one and swapping its position with a neighbour. Make a row or column and the jewels disappear, turning the squares they inhabited to gold.
