A collection of single-file web applications for drafting factions in Twilight Imperium Fourth Edition with the Prophecy of Kings expansion and Council Keleres.

These tools help groups secretly draft factions for TI4 games. Each player receives 1 random faction from the PoK+Keleres pool and 3 random factions from the remaining pool. The tools ensure secrecy by providing individual player views.

The draft ensures:

• Each player gets exactly 4 factions
• No faction is dealt to more than one player
• PoK/Keleres factions are prioritized for the first pick

• Uses seeded Fisher-Yates shuffle for reproducible randomness
• Base64 encoding for URL obscuration
• Hash-based player verification to prevent cross-player viewing
• Supports 3-8 players (limited by PoK+Keleres pool size)

• Uses mulberry32 PRNG with seed for deterministic shuffling
• Shared draft ID stored in localStorage
• Simple reveal/hide toggle mechanism

• Uses URL hash fragments for offline state persistence
• mulberry32 PRNG with seed
• Per-player hash links for individual views
• Works entirely client-side with no server
