To play an Azagame puzzle, click on an empty cell and a pop-up modal appears where you can select numbers from 1 to 9 to fill up your last touched empty cell. A delete button is included in case you touched an already filled cell and you intend to delete its content.
This is synonyms to making money decisions: Filling each need (empty cell) with your available resources (1-9). And the possibilities are huge.
RULES
As a numbers puzzle game, there are only 3 rules to play by as you fill up the empty spaces with numbers 1 to 9: Ensure that
1. Each number 1 to 9 appears only once on a line ( see Blue line in the image)
2. Each number 1 to 9 appears only once on each column (green line)
3. Each number appears only once in a 3x3 box (red box).
At the end of the day, you will have each row or column or small 3x3 box filled up with numbers 1-9 in any order. No repeated number.
See example of a completed puzzle below.
- Solved Azagame
You can see that
1. In each row, you have 1 to 9 exactly
2. In each column, you have just 1 to 9
3. In all nine 3x3 boxes, they all contain 1 to 9.
And there are no repeated numbers in any row, column or 3x3 sub-box.
- Labelled options
There are 4 buttons below the board
2. BUY DIGIT: The system will give you a correct random number each time you buy. Costs 75 coins per Buy, and the correct digit will be placed in a random empty box.
3. HELP: This bonus option fills up all the empty boxes with all possibilities to guide you. Usable only once per game. Costs -100 coins.
4. ABORT: This #SpecialAccess button terminates the current game without cost or gain and gives you a brand new puzzle.
CAUTION: Use these buttons wisely, else they erode all your coins and you gain nothing or even run into loss. That is the idea: Use them judiciously.
CONNOTATIONS
Each time you use the bonus buttons - Restart, Buy Digits, Change Level and Help, your costs accrue here towards the final accounting. This is a transparent way to track costly moves and evaluate your strategy.
MAX ROI:
Each puzzle game has its own MAX ROI indicated at the top right hand corner: This is the maximum coins you can earn from that particular game. This depends on it's difficulty (Remember? The higher the risk, the higher the returns). Pay attention to this as you use bonus options because if you spend more than you can make, you make loss. Just like real in life financial situation.
EARNED
For each digit you place, you earn 10 coins. This record at the top of the game adds up move by move as you solve the puzzle. If there are 50 empty spots to fill altogether at beginning, your MAX ROI will be 500.
DIFFICULTY
Before starting a puzzle, you can change the difficulty level from the default HARDEST to 6 other easier levels. Each step adds extra correct number to fill up the board. Each number costs 50 coins. Hence, the EASIEST level will cost -300 (50x6) coins and reduce your MAX ROI by -300!
ENDING
If you correctly (by yourself or with bonus buttons) completely solve a puzzle, your net earning (positive or negative) will be passed to your record. A hundredth of the equivalent will also be credited to your Azaland Gems balance towards the project Airdrop at TGE or for other uses.
PENALTIES
REMOVING OR REPLACING A DIGIT
If for any reason you delete or replace a digit, this will automatically cost you double what you gained when you placed it. The penalty will be deducted right away from your EARNING, and not passed into cost. It's an immediate penalty. So, think carefully before placing a digit. This is not a game of gambling.
It's built to mimic real life money decisions. You don't guess or gamble. You make sure its the correct move!
WRONG COMPLETION
If you complete all boxes but with some incorrect placements, the system will clear out all the wrongly placed digits and deduct x2 of what you gained while placing them from your earning. Then you are allowed to finish off the rest of the puzzle correctly.
CONCLUSION
The Azagame is synonymous to real life money, investing and accounting scenarios where diligence pays the greatest reward, bad money and investment decisions lead to bad consequences, and cutting corners have implications. Just like borrowing money for business or other uses, the Option buttons have implications on your bottom line, albeit giving you a faster ride.
