Gold Miner Jack

The frame is still a claw dropped into the ground to haul up whatever it grabs, but a shop now sits between rounds, and that changes the money from a score into a resource with choices attached.

Stock in the shop generally improves speed or the value of what comes up. The question is whether to spend immediately or hold on. Buy too early and there may be nothing left for the round that genuinely needed help; hold too long and you may never reach that round at all. That discomfort is the whole difference between this edition and the plain version.

Worth knowing too: finds that look similar do not always haul at the same rate. Learning which shapes are worth the most in a given round saves a surprising amount of time, particularly in the final seconds when there is only room for one more decision.
