Requirements
You need to have the Gem Cutting technology to do this test.
Construction cost
- 700 Board for Moveable Frame
- 2 Hile's Chevrons cut Turquoise for Bearings
- 25 Iron Bar for the Base
- 5 Iron Strap for Frame Reinforcement
- 100 Linen for Backdrop
- 100 Slate for the Writing Surface
- 25 Mandibular Glue for attaching the Slate

Orienting the play screen so it faces north or south makes it easier for some players in certain light conditions to see the pieces clearly.
Playing a Hexaglyph
Goal
- Place hexagons together in a grid in such a way that touching sides have matching hieroglyphs.
- It appears there may be at least one other requirement. I solved one with separate islands of matching glyphs (with blank-to-blank sides between the areas), and it didn't register as a win. Either that, or you're not allowed to have an open hex in the middle of the pattern. Can anyone confirm whether it's one or both (or something else)? --Shebi 11:18, 21 July 2009 (EST)
Controls
- Grab the edge of a hexagon to rotate it
- Grab the centre of the hexagon and drag it to move it to a new location
