NEW YORK - Nov. 8, 2012 -  Mobile developer AppAbove Games today released Chip Chain for iOS devices, a free puzzle game that challenges players to place and match poker chips, build huge combos, and level-up their puzzling skills. Unlike the match-three puzzle clones that clog the app store, Chip Chain features unique gameplay that’s easy to learn and play, while offering a surprising wealth of strategy.  Place and match adjacent chips to win a more valuable chip, then chain together matches for huge bonuses! As the chip values get higher and higher, Chip Chain becomes a high-stakes game of chip placing and chain-chasing action. Best of all, each game earns gems to spend on better chips, more powerful cards, bigger hands, gem multipliers, and more! With beautiful HD Retina graphics, Chip Chain is a free all ages app for all iPhones and iPads, available now on the App Store.
