Prospector

Prospector dresses a pure push-your-luck decision up as a mine shaft, and the honesty of it is what makes it grip. Each descent uses a small, fully face-up deck of tiles — gems, dynamite, and gas — and every turn you choose to FLIP the next tile or BANK what you have collected and walk out safe. Gems swell your pot by their value times a depth multiplier that climbs the deeper you go, and dynamite doubles the whole thing; but flip the third gas tile and the shaft collapses, wiping out everything you had not banked. Here is the part that turns luck into skill: every tile you reveal stays on the table, so you can literally count what remains and work out the exact odds that the next flip is fatal. The entire game lives in one question — is the loot on offer worth the current chance of losing it all? Free to play in any browser, it saves your fattest banked run to push you toward a braver, better-counted descent.
