 How to Play Runes  

In the main applications screen of your device, tap on the Runes icon. The following picture will appear on the display:

                      

In the demo version you can play only the at the easy level of difficulty whereas the timer can be turned on or off.

The board contains 64 rune stones of several different types, depending on the difficulty of level you are playing. You must look for configurations of identical stones, suitable to form rows or columns of three or more stones with a complement from the store. You earn points each time such a row or column is formed.

The store is on the right part of the playing field and contains eight rune stones. Tap on a stone to select it so as to match certain configuration from the board. Then tap the stone on the board, which you wish to replace with the one from the store. The red square highlights the selected stone. Try to keep that selection at a fixed position and you will get a premium coefficient and will score more points. Keep track of the coefficient in the upper left corner of the screen.

 Controls  

Use the stylus to play the game.

 Game Settings  

Runes allow you to choose either a relaxing easy game or a frantic timed session. To play a timed game tap the On button below the Timer. In this game mode you must take quick decisions in order to stay in the game. The relaxing game lets you reconsider your moves and follow a long-term strategy. Tap the Off button to play at relax mode.

Runes have three difficulty levels – easy, medium and hard. The difference is in the number of stone types, which is seven, eight and nine for each level respectively. Choose the level that best suits your skills and tap Start to play the game

You can choose the speed of the game play. To do that go to Menu | Preferences.

 Tips&Tricks  
  • Seek to keep in store maximum variety of rune types. Thus you will always have a suitable rune in order to make a random combination and to play longer.

  • If there are two possibilities to perform a single move, choose the one that is higher on the screen because it’s possible the upper combination to be transposed if you play the lower combination first.

  • Try always to foresee at least one move. This will help you to stay always with possible moves.

  • Try as much as possible to play without unnecessary moves of the runes in the store. Thus you will win more points.

  • If there is a possibility to play a horizontal and a vertical combination at one and the same time, and you see that your moves are limited then play the horizontal one. Thus you will increase the variety of rune types and you will have more chances to keep on playing the game.

  • When you play a Timer Game, always perform the first possible move you see, because time is worth more than finding out the optimal combination.

 Scoring  

In this game you will find HighScore lists for all levels of difficulty whereas the play mode's type is also taken into consideration. Think ahead to score higher bonus, and cause chain reactions by hitting multiple sets with one move. To view the best scores go to Menu|Game|High Score.
