A 2-player card game about mining operations - go deeper and deeper into the mineshaft!
Every turn you can either buy a new card for your hand, or dig using your existing cards. You start with 3 pickaxes and the capacity to retrieve 1 treasure card from the shaft every turn. At the end of a turn the revealed cards go back on top of the shaft deck.
You can buy the following items (item cost):
- Pickaxe (0): reveal a new card from the shaft deck. Can not go through rock.
- TNT (0): destroy the last revealed card in the mineshaft, as well as the unturned card behind it. Single-use.
- Lantern (1): look at the top 3 cards of the shaft deck.
- Sieve (1): swap any 2 cards that are revealed in the mineshaft.
- Sub-shaft (2): bypass a rock card without destroying it.
- Sabotage (2): discard alongside a TNT to destroy a card of your choice in your opponent's hand.
- Mine cart (3): (passive) you can extract 1 more treasure from the shaft per round.
There's an AI opponent so you can play on your own. :)
#### Bugfixes added on 2021-04-26:
- Sabotage now correctly consumes a TNT
- Sabotage and TNT now don't result in glitched out cards breaking the whole game (QOL!)
- Buying is no longer possible if cards were already played that turn
- Fixed/improved AI to not be stuck on rock cards
#### Bugfixes added on 2021-05-01:
- Added blockers so you can't click during the AI's turn (guys, please...)
- Fixed cards getting stuck in the mineshaft after a Sieve action
- Fixed card-selecting actions to block other actions until done
How to play
The goal of the game is to have the most money when you reach the end of the mineshaft.

You start with 3 pickaxes and the capacity to retrieve 1 treasure card from the shaft every turn. At the end of a turn the revealed cards go back on top of the shaft deck.
