These gems can be “crashed” (destroyed) in order to build up power for four different super moves as well as to flood other players with more gems. As this process unfolds, gems will fly back and forth between players as they desperately try to remain under the threshold of corruption. Holding the scepter “helps,” but can also doom the greedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fe-block fe-block-98611bc577e4271c9f99\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" data-border-radii='{\"topLeft\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"value\":0.0},\"topRight\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"value\":0.0},\"bottomLeft\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"value\":0.0},\"bottomRight\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"value\":0.0}}' data-sqsp-block=\"text\" id=\"block-98611bc577e4271c9f99\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\" data-sqsp-text-block-content=\"\"\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT’S COOL ABOUT IT?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fe-block fe-block-9437b6b0268133116cd4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block horizontalrule-block sqs-block-horizontalrule\" data-block-type=\"47\" id=\"block-9437b6b0268133116cd4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fe-block fe-block-b7ba8cba4858f5ef887c\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" data-border-radii='{\"topLeft\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"value\":0.0},\"topRight\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"value\":0.0},\"bottomLeft\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"value\":0.0},\"bottomRight\":{\"unit\":\"px\",\"value\":0.0}}' data-sqsp-block=\"text\" id=\"block-b7ba8cba4858f5ef887c\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\" data-sqsp-text-block-content=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-rte-list=\"default\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eVisually bold components including 123 custom-molded gems.
