ABOUT THE GAME

Gold Aztec game overview

Every click rotates four crystals clockwise, so one local fix can disturb three neighboring positions. Within that limit, place all sixteen crystals inside rings of the same color. A sixteen-block stone door contains equal sets of colored crystals and matching rings. For Gold Aztec, no defeat state interrupts rotating four-crystal groups into colored rings; the stone door remains unsolved while any crystal has the wrong ring. The puzzle advances through repeated four-crystal rotations until every block is correctly matched. The sequence closes after finding a four-block group containing several useful next positions and rotating it once, checking all affected colors, and planning the following turn. The door completes when every crystal matches its ring.

Tips for Gold Aztec
