All That Glitters

A browser-based clone of the classic Alchemy puzzle game, built with Vite and Vanilla JavaScript.

Setup

npm install
npm run dev

Then open http://localhost:5173 in your browser.

How to Play

• Place Runes: Click on an empty cell to place your current rune. You can only place a rune if it shares a property (color or symbol) with an adjacent cell. The first placement can go anywhere.
• Discard: Use "Discard to Forge" when you can't place your current rune. Discarded runes fill the Forge.
• Clear the Forge: Each successful placement removes one rune from the Forge.
• Score: Earn points for placements, converting Lead to Gold, and clearing full rows/columns.
