Build a game where you swap neighbouring tiles to line up three and chain reactions follow

Swapping tiles to make a line of three is a loop of swap, find, clear, drop and refill, repeated until the board is calm. The details that go wrong are swaps that change nothing, lines found twice and refills that start another chain. Here is the loop.

Why this works

The player judges the move, but the board does the rest. Settling in rounds, one after the other, keeps every chain traceable, so you can show it step by step and give a growing reward to a lucky cascade.

When not to use it

Skip it when the player should plan far ahead or when luck must not decide the outcome. Refills are random by nature; for a puzzle with one fixed answer, hand-place the tiles instead of dropping new ones.
