⚒ CRAFTING BENCH

Forge armor one tier at a time — each tier you wear shows on your miner and protects more of your stash when the vein blows. A bomb knocks you down one tier (re-forge costs full price). Higher tiers guard a bigger share of your jewels.

A verified MOTHER-LODE ignited in the vein.

A verified entropy event. It awards nothing here — entropy contribution is measured and settled by the server.

HOW TO PLAY

The read is the edge

Unlike the reels and scratch tickets, this board is deducible. Every safe tile shows how many mines touch it (0–8). Most bombs are avoidable with correct flagging — skill dominates, not RNG.

Dig = bank gems

Every clean tile you reveal banks gems into your stash. A 0-tile floods a whole pocket. Riskier high-number tiles and deeper levels drop richer jewels: Shard → Crystal → Emerald → Sapphire → Diamond.

First dig is always safe

Mines are placed after your first tap, so you never die on tile #1.

Forge + wear armor

Spend jewels at the bench to forge Light → Medium → Heavy → Mythril. Your miner visibly bulks up and glows as you climb tiers. Each tier guards a bigger share of your stash: Light ~20%, Medium ~60%, Heavy 100%, Mythril 100% + blast-reduction (shrugs off the shake).

Hit the vein = bomb

A bomb knocks you down one tier and leaves you SHAKEN (Mythril doesn't shake). The stash you lose depends on the tier you were wearing. With no armor, a bomb wipes your stash. A second bomb while SHAKEN, or a bomb with no armor and nothing left to lose, ends the run. Descending clears SHAKEN.

Clear the board → descend

Reveal every safe tile to descend. Levels run 1 (smallest) → 10 (giant) and keep going. You keep your full stash + armor and get a depth bonus.

Buried finds

On some levels a character is buried in the rock. Dig up their tile to free them and unlock a cosmetic collectible for your Rolodex — rare, no cash value.

Block Found

Rarely, a deep risky reveal ignites a MOTHER-LODE — full-screen drama + a verified emission (demo), separate from your gem stash.
