# Leaderboard, streaks and your realm

## Leaderboard

- Every daily post has its own leaderboard.
- **Only your first finished game counts.** Play again as often as you like for practice.
- Ranking: more stars first, then more gold. On a tie, the earlier game wins.
- The server replays every submitted game with the same rules and computes gold and stars itself, so results can't be
  faked.
- Older daily posts can still be played and count for that day's leaderboard.

## Streaks

Play the **map of the day** on consecutive days to build a 🔥 streak. Older posts don't keep your streak alive; only
today's post does.

## Flairs

- 🔥 **N-day streak** from a 2-day streak on.
- 👑 **Ruler of the day**: yesterday's winner wears the crown for a day.

## Post to comments

After your game, **💬 Post to comments** writes your result line (stars, lands, gold and rank) as a comment under the
daily post, in your name. Once per day. Then tell everyone where you put your castle!

## Your realm

Tap **🎨 Realm** on the daily post to change how your pieces and board look. Same rules for everyone; it's only about
looking good while you win.
