THE MOLE'S FIELD GUIDE

Every swing counts.

Amber
Sapphire
Emerald
Ruby

Dig from the top.

Tap a gem or rock with nothing above it. Each dig uses a swing and the pile settles into the gap. Clear what is above a buried gem to reach it.

Sparkly rocks hide gems. Bigger ones can hold more.

Plan around an order.

Gems go into your bag. A card pays automatically when you have its whole set. The numbers show what is in your bag out of what the card needs.

Tap a card to find its missing gems: gold means reachable; violet means buried. Turn on Gem symbols in Settings for another way to match them.

Leave room in your bag.

Slots are limited. Dim, crossed-out gems are spare for the cards currently on the line. Tap a bagged gem to discard it permanently for no coins.

An ordinary gem dug into a full bag is lost. Make space before digging.

Choose what the dragon keeps.

When an order wants a prism, choose whether to fill it or grow your dragon's collection. You have 6 seconds. If you wait, it goes to your bag when wanted and there is room; otherwise the dragon keeps it. Unwanted prisms go straight to the hoard.

A Heartstone takes three pries. In Career it gives the dragon 12 hoard. In Free and Daily, choose 600 coins or 12 hoard; waiting sells it.

Finish the line.

Fill the shift's order goal before your swings run out. Each spare swing then earns 5 coins. Watch the RUSH card's own countdown when one appears.

Career banks coins on your first clear. Free banks every shift. Today's Daily banks your first finished shift; replays can improve your best.

Play with a keyboard.

Use Tab or the arrow keys to move between controls and reachable gems. Safari may use Option+Tab. Press Enter or Space to choose. Press Escape to pause or go back. Your system’s Reduce Motion preference quiets decorative movement.
