About Cascade

A three-match barely pays for itself

There is no move counter. A swap costs charge and a cleared node refunds it — but the refund multiplies with the depth of the chain it was part of. Take the obvious match and you slowly go broke.

The pool is the clock

Run out of charge and the run is over. That single number is the difficulty dial, the scoring system and the reason to look for one more link in the chain.
