Mint Master
Read full descriptionHide full description
Every great fortune starts with a single penny. Mint Master is an idle coin tycoon game: press humble Wheat Pennies, hire legendary workers to automate the mint and watch your fortune climb from dollars to trillions and beyond. An idle clicker and incremental money game built on real coin history instead of the usual factory floor. STRIKE RARE ERROR COINS Any press can strike a coin wrong, just like a real mint: a Doubled Die, an Off-Center Strike, a Wrong Planchet, a Clipped Planchet or the ultra-rare Double Strike. Every new kind you find adds income to that coin forever and fills the error shelf in your Collection. PLAY THE COIN PUSHER An arcade coin pusher waits on the Rewards page. Drop a coin, nudge the pile over the edge and collect in-game coins and rare error coins. Tokens come only from playing - the Daily Vault, the daily gift, quests and an optional reward bonus - and can never be bought. RACE IN THE MINT RALLY A 3-day race against 29 rival mints. Press coins, hire workers and strike rare coins to climb, then claim Collector's Marks and pusher tokens. Finish in the top 3 to win an exclusive rim for your own coin. DESIGN YOUR SIGNATURE COIN Pick the metal, rim, emblem and inscription, strike it and share it. More parts unlock as you play - new worlds, flawless grades, error coins, the coin pusher and the rally. FIVE MINT WORLDS, 50 COINS - The American Mint - the Wheat Penny to the 1933 Double Eagle - The Royal Mint - the Farthing to the Tudor Rose Crown - The Ancient Mint - the Bronze Obol to the Julius Caesar Aureus - The Imperial Mint - dynastic China, from Copper Cash to the Jade Emperor Medallion; opens after your first prestige in the Ancient Mint - The Legendary Mint - Atlantis, El Dorado and the treasury of the gods; forge the Legendary Mint Key and prestige every other mint once to find it Each world has its own mint and scenery. Every coin is a struck-metal render with its own story. A MINT THAT FEELS ALIVE Every tap strikes the coin with a shine and a solid thunk, with haptics and optional screen shake on the big moments. Every worker talks in their own voice. Welcome Back pours your away earnings into a glass vault as a pile of coins you can knock about. DAILY REWARDS AND STREAKS A 7-day login calendar with a bigger gift on day 7 and bonus Marks at 8, 15, 23 and 30 days played. Keep your streak alive to raise your away earnings, up to double from day 7. Power up with Mint Rush (double income for 4 hours), Time Warp (4 hours of income now) and the Daily Vault. WEEKLY LEADERBOARD SEASON Every week is a new race on the This Week board: Bronze for taking part, Silver for the top 10, Gold for the top 3 and Champion for first place. Every medal pays Collector's Marks, and your best one shows beside your name. The all-time Richest and Marks boards are there for the long climb. COLLECTOR'S MARKS Prestige any world to earn Collector's Marks. Spend them on upgrades that affect every mint: double all taps, extend your away-earnings cap, boost prestige rewards, or unlock the Grand Collection for a production bonus when all four mints run together. GRADE AND PRESTIGE Keep pressing a coin to raise its grade from VF through XF, AU and MS-65 to a flawless MS-70, which adds 5% to that coin's income. Perform a Royal Mint Reset for permanent multipliers that make every run faster, and earn a Collector's Mark to spend on cross-world upgrades. FEATURES - Five tabs: Store, Workers, Mint, Rewards and Ranks - 10 daily quests and optional reminders - Cloud save: reinstall and your mint is still there, no account needed - English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, German and French - Optional reward bonuses (short ads), plus a one-time Remove Ads purchase that removes intrusive ads for good while your optional reward bonuses keep paying out - An internet connection is required to play - No pay-to-win - everything is earnable by playing From a copper penny to a legendary fortune: become the ultimate coin tycoon.
