Gameplay
When you start playing the alchemy game, you see a board of squares. The squares are golden and lead colors. The game starts when you start putting randomly generated symbols which called runes on squares. The randomly generated symbols consist of astrological glyphs. The runes that appear are from different colors. When you reach on higher levels, more numbers of different colors runes appear on the board.
Skill levels of the alchemy game.
There are three skill levels of alchemy game. The skill level one is played on board 1. Skill level two is played on board 4. And, skill level three is played on board 7. You cannot skip the skill levels anyway because you can reach to higher skill levels only if you successfully complete lower levels.
Scoring criteria of the alchemy game.
The game is based on a points scoring system. If you as a player reach higher levels you would have higher points. You can score points when a rune is placed and a row or board is cleared. Players get rankings based on achieved scores. For example, if a player gets 0-399 points he would be ranked as cursed. And if the player scores 40000 or more points, he would be ranked as the grand alchemical emperor. If the player scores 3000-3499 points, he would be ranked as a hedge wizard. For points in range of 8000-9999, the player would be ranked as a first class wizard.
