In the pic, you can see that the first column is 100% blocked and then other columns are obscured to varying degrees.

What this means for gameplay is that we have two choices:

1. Lose time as we wait to take our turn [For Abynissia and others, this is EVERY turn]
2. Match and hope we don’t make a mistake

I’m sure the graphics team can come up with a number of solutions but the most obvious would be:  
–(Greatly) increase the transparency of the effect, allowing us to see through to the gems beyond  
–Decrease the size of the effect  
–Decrease the time of the effect (less waiting)
