A digital implementation of the board game Splendor.

Splendor is a board game where players take on the role of Renaissance merchants collecting gem tokens to purchase development cards. These cards provide prestige points and permanent gem bonuses, which in turn help players acquire more valuable cards.

• Game Setup: Initializes the board with gem tokens and development cards.
• Player Turns: Supports multiple players taking turns to collect gems or purchase cards.
• Game Logic: Implements the core rules of Splendor, including gem collection, card purchasing, and scoring.

• Node.js (v14 or higher recommended)
• npm (usually comes with Node.js)

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd splendor-game

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

To run the game, use the following command:

npm start

This will start the game server and you can interact with it through the console.

Be the first player to reach 15 prestige points.

1. Place the 36 development cards face up in four rows based on their level (I, II, III, and Prestige cards).
2. Place the 5 gem token piles (Emerald, Sapphire, Ruby, Diamond, Onyx) and the 15 gold tokens (wildcards) in the center of the table.
3. Give each player a set of 10 gem tokens of a single color (for tracking purposes, not actual gameplay).

On your turn, you must perform one of the following actions:

1. Take Gems:

   • Take 3 different colored gem tokens.
   • OR take 2 gem tokens of the same color, provided there are at least 4 tokens of that color available.
   • OR take 1 gold token (wildcard).

2. Purchase a Card:

   • Pay the cost of a development card by returning the required gem tokens to the supply.
   • Gold tokens can be used as any color.
   • Place the purchased card face up in front of you.
   • Note: The permanent gem bonuses on your cards reduce the cost of future purchases.

3. Reserve a Card:

   • Take any face-up development card and place it in your hand (hidden from other players).
   • Take 1 gold token.
   • You can have a maximum of 3 reserved cards at any time.

• As soon as a player reaches 15 or more prestige points on their turn, the game ends immediately.
• That player is the winner.
