How to get on the board
Scoring
- Each emerald is worth 25. Collect 8 in quick succession for a 250 bonus; the pips in the corner show your run.
- A bag of gold wobbles, then falls, when the dirt beneath it is dug away. A fall of two or more tiles bursts it into gold worth 500; one tile and it just lands. Monsters eat loose gold if they reach it first.
- Anything under a falling bag is crushed — monsters (250 points) and you alike. Bags can be pushed sideways, but never lifted or dug into from below.
- You start with 3 lives and earn another every 20,000 points. Eight layouts repeat with faster, more numerous monsters.

House target and par are set by us from the game’s scoring. They are something to beat, not someone.
