The goal of the game is to be first to get rid of all the cards in the hand by placing them on a discard pile. The game starts by dealing six cards to each of the four players and placing one card face up in a discard pile. You must play a card of the same rank or suit over the card in the discard pile when your turn comes. In order to win you must have a very good strategy. What are you waiting for?

If he places a 2 the next player after him must take 4 cards and so on. - You can use the Jack to make the next player wait a turn. If the player before you places a Jack you can wait or place another Jack. - Following this turn the player who won't respond with a Jack waits a turn. - If you don't have a suitable card, you can draw one from the stockpile. - In order to wait a turn or take a card from the stockpile you need to tap the button next to your hand of cards. - If you don't have a suitable card after taking one from the stockpile, you must tap the "Jump" button. - You can use a 9 to reverse the order of the play. Normally the deal is done clockwise. - You can use an 8 to change the playing suit color. After you place an 8 a menu appears from which you can select the suit you want. - If other players specify a new suit using an 8, the type of the suit will appear briefly on top of the stockpile. - After a player plays all his cards, the round ends and points are awarded to this player. - The points are calculated by adding 10 points for each common card and 50 points for eights, Jacks, nines, and twos. - The first player to reach 300 points wins the game. - The game saves its state so you can exit the game and return from where you left. * Support and Feedback If you have any technical problems please email us directly at support@gsoftteam.com.

You have a grab hook, a long rope and maybe a little bit of dynamite? Perfect. You’ve got everything you need to be a professional casual gold miner now! In this gold miner clicker game your one and only goal is to collect the biggest and most valuable gold nuggets and even diamonds from under the earth. You will face at least two problems though: You only have a limited amount of time for each level and you have to gather a certain amount of gold or diamonds to reach the level goal. Will you go for the big chunks that bring in more money but take much longer to reel in or aim for the little nuggets with lower value? Your strategic thinking skills will be tested here. As a real Gold Miner you will have a few nice upgrades at your disposal. And those will make gold mining a lot easier. For example: - Strength: you will reel in everything much quicker - Double coins: value of everything is doubled - TNT: blow stuff up that you don’t need! Our favourite! - More coins for worthless rocks: does exactly what it says :) Each level has the same gameplay: your hook swings from left to right automatically and you have to release it by tapping the screen to collect gold and diamonds or those little bags with a surprise in it. It will get tougher from level to level, though. To play Gold Miner successfully in the later levels you will have to swing your hook past annoying little mice and even exploding barrels if you want to collect the really big valuables. Will you be able to retrieve a tiny little diamond surrounded by five exploding barrels? It’s all about timing and a little bit of luck. It’s a skill game after all. Upgrades will help you master each level. But be careful not to spend too much of your collected coins on upgrades before each level. You may have a hard time to reach the money goal then. And when that happens it means game over and back to the start. Come with us on a free gold miner adventure. Gold Miner Tom is 100% free. Features: - Play Gold Miner Free - Unlimited levels - Different Upgrades - Colorful graphics and funny music - No texts! Suitable for everyone! - Gold Miner Offline - Free download
