Cradle of Rome (released in some regions as Jewel Master: Cradle of Rome) is the first in a series of tile-matching puzzle and strategy video games developed by German studio cerasus.media and published by D3 Publisher on November 18, 2008 for the Nintendo DS handheld game console.

The gameplay is similar to that of Bejeweled; the player must flip jewels/resources on a playing field to create matches of at least three items of the same type.

Obstacles increase the game's difficulty; they include locked gems/resources, which cannot be switched until a match is made to unlock them.

[1] Cradle of Rome was given a mixed reception by video game critics, and it received an aggregated score of 63% at Metacritic.

This game was intended to be casual and many websites hosted and are currently offering it as 'play online for free' - Rome Puzzle version.
