You don’t need to save the dragon for last just to get a full board clear. You can keep going after you kill it and get its XP as long as you don’t click the crown that appears where it was.

That’s why I usually kill the dragon immediately once I get 13 hearts for the first time.

The problem is that gamelib.js calls the getImageData() method on a canvas that has data loaded from an external image file, which falls afoul of https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CanvasRenderingContext2D/getImageData#exceptions and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Defenses/Same-origin_policy#file_origins when the game is running from a file:/// URL. To work around this, either set up a local Web server and then run the game through localhost, or go into gamelib.js and replace this block of code:

                    let r = (colorMultiplier >> 16 & 0xff)/0xff;
                    let g = (colorMultiplier >> 8 & 0xff)/0xff;
                    let b = (colorMultiplier >> 0 & 0xff)/0xff;
                    let imgData = ctx.getImageData(0, 0, cellw, cellh);
                    for(let i = 0; i < imgData.data.length; i += 4) 
                    {
                        imgData.data[i + 0] *= r;
                        imgData.data[i + 1] *= g;
                        imgData.data[i + 2] *= b;
                    }
                    ctx.putImageData(imgData, 0, 0);                

With this one:

                    ctx.fillStyle = "#" + colorMultiplier.toString(16).padStart(6, '0');
                    ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "multiply";
                    ctx.fillRect(0, 0, frame.rect.w, frame.rect.h);
                    ctx.fillStyle = "black";
                    ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "destination-atop";
                    ctx.drawImage(img, frame.rect.x, frame.rect.y, frame.rect.w, frame.rect.h, 0, 0, frame.rect.w, frame.rect.h);
                    ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "source-over";

That can only happen if you do not use any health refills until you’ve […] cleared out all mines.

There’s actually a little bit more leeway than that: your first health refill needs to be when you have 11 hearts, and you can get to 11 hearts by clearing only the first 6 of the 9 mines.

13 is indeed the theoretical best possible. Playing 100% optimally in cheat mode (getting the egg, gold chests, and gnome very first thing, getting the mine king and all the mines as soon as you get 10 hearts, and not touching any brick walls until the very end) that’s all you get.

I ran into a soft lock bug on Patters Hill. On day 5, there were five people left alive, and on night 6, three of them died, leaving only two alive (both Soldier claims) on day 6. At this point, I just kept getting offered the “Go to sleep” button over and over again, without anyone else ever dying and without me ever getting a chance to shoot. I kept clicking it until Night 21 before I gave up.

I think the maximum theoretical score you can get while saving those three is 325 (since you need the heals that Romeo and Juliet drop to be able to clear everything else).

I got a game that didn't have a unique solution. The Five of Spades was the victim, and here's what the rest of the cards said:

• Four of Clubs: There is no card above me. The figure of the card below me was diamond.
• Three of Diamonds: The value of the card above me was higher. The figure of the card below me was heart.
• Eight of Hearts: The value of the card above me was lower. The figure of the card below me was spade.
• Jack of Spades: The value of the card above me was lower. The figure of the card below me was diamond.
• Queen of Diamonds: The value of the card above me was lower. There is no card below me.
