#12Decent game. How is this HTML5 though? The gameplay happens within an HTML table and some simple javascript to turns that table into an interactive game. Seems like something that could have been done with HTML 1.

#13Getting a sum of 21 the first time gets you a score, and the second time (since you've already used that sum) it gets you a loss. I think it should make you lose the first time!
Also, cool game thanks for sharing.

The rules seem to be that it checks if it's an available multiple of 7 first and then if it's invalid. I initially thought the rules would work the way you have described, but if that was the case, would all multiples of 7 and 3 be off limits?

That's how it initially was. But I have now made it so that, as you say, it first checks to see if it's a multiple of 7. If it's a multiple of both 7 and 3 (regardless of whether or not you have played it before), then you will no longer be penalized.

#16The grid doesn't appear properly in Firefox for me. clear your floats in the scoreboard.
Other than that, looks pretty cool.
EDIT: actually it also seems to not work in Firefox in general after refreshing the page

#17Really needs an indicator that tells you how many moves you have in a given turn, which goes down as you click.

I think I understand why you decided to do that, but it might be worth an explanation modification. I tested my understanding of the rules by trying 21, and was surprised. Not that it's a big deal!

#19I would recommend removing "7" from the board at all. The easiest opening move is to just start clicking all the 7s (since that guarantees you all multiples of 7 until you run out of 7s).
This strategy requires 0-thinking and is a bit tedious. If the board has no 7's on it, you're required to add from the get-go.
EDIT: Also, very fun little game. Thanks for sharing!

#20I need some social validation here, I could be at this all day, but unless I know that I was better than somebody else it feels like a waste of time.
