Pocket Prospector
Recover three gems ◆ and RETURN to camp ⌂. Tap adjacent cells to walk or gather. Timber W is free to gather; craft a wood pick at camp for 2 timber, mine two stone S, then upgrade at camp for 2 stone. A stone pick breaks hard rock H and gems. Before mining a gem, build a timber support on an adjacent empty cell: each support costs 1 timber and can protect several gems. Five timber are available, so plan where supports go. Undo is unlimited; no automatic defeat.
Tap tiles, or use Tab and Enter. Arrow keys move board focus.
