      Pairing, players & reconnecting

      Pair controllers in your computer’s Bluetooth settings, then focus the game and press A on each. USB works too. One controller is shared by everyone. With two, controller 1 plays Players 1 and 3, and controller 2 plays Players 2 and 4. The bottom strip tells you whose controller is up.

      If a controller disconnects, reconnect and release all buttons. A new controller can take a disconnected seat by pressing A. Play in Chrome or Edge over HTTPS.
      WELCOME TO THE TABLE

      Small moves.
      Sweet rewards.

      1. Roll. The needle gives you two numbers and a direction. Standard dice give the same numbers but no wishes.
      2. Spend both numbers. Select a number, then drag a crystal left or right to turn its necklace, or use an arrow beside the string. Focus the table and use up/down to select a necklace, then left/right to turn it. Shift with left/right inspects sweets; Enter chooses a wish. Each necklace has a straight front section and an empty return strand. Sweets travel around its curved ends and along the return strand to wrap to the other side. Matching is checked on the front section after the move. Use either direction and either string—even the same string twice. Hover or focus an arrow to preview. Undo is free before collecting.
      3. Make a wish, if you can. A gold path crossing sweet centres on two or more strings unlocks one sweet anywhere. Once the numbers are spent, click a sweet to preview taking it. Its neighbours close the gap; this can change your matches. A wish is optional.
      4. Collect and pass. By default, match the same colour in one column across every nonempty string (at least two). Sweets normally score one point, including wishes. With mixed values, Sugar sweets score one, Glowing sweets with one glint score two, and Radiant sweets with three glints and a golden halo score three. The key beneath the table explains these tiers. Assigned sweets always score one for their owner. Everything collected disappears, and strings contract left. Normally new matches from the final collapse stay for the next player. With Multiple matches enabled, collect each new match after collapse until none remain, all in the same turn.
      5. Stop when no matches are possible. The game checks whether any rotations could still form a match. When none can, remaining sweets stay unclaimed. Highest score wins. Ties share the win.

      Each colour has a recognisable bead family: rose rings, honey layered squares, mint ribbed barrels and violet sugar shards. Shapes and symbols identify colours too. With a free movement budget, each step costs one point from the total. “All occupied strings” requires a match across every nonempty string, with at least two strings.

      Assigned sweets have a bold player-coloured number badge, matching the key on that player’s scorecard. The crystal colour and symbol still determine matches. Their owner scores whenever anyone matches or wishes for them. Everyone starts with an equal assigned count; any remainder is communal (★) and scores for the player collecting it. The preview shows all players’ gains before collection.

      Wishes are rare: the needle must pass closely through sweet centres on two separate necklaces. A path near the edges does not count.
