A downloadable game for Windows

You're the best blackjack blacksmith in the land, and it's up to you to help your local lizards by forging replacements when they lose scales!


Use the right amount of material to make a scale of the right size -- but don't go over the limit, or the scale will be too big!


Mine ore of various sizes to forge new scales. Mining costs money -- don't be wasteful!


Pay to appraise the size of your ore chunks -- or just throw them in the forge and hope for the best!


Help four lizards to unlock the ultimate challenge!



Tutorial: Your lizard customers have lost their scales and need you to craft them replacements. Click the ore nodes to mine, then drag pieces of ore onto the anvil to forge them. Pay attention to the recipe to make sure you craft the scale exactly as the customer requests! Medium and large ores can have a range of values, so consider paying to appraise them on the table if you get into a tricky spot!

Looks like the Lizard Kingdom has very straightforward taxation, because my money caps out at 999! Probably a good thing though, it makes for a nice completionist end goal and an anti-addiction feature.

There are no lizard billionaires. Just amazing public infrastructure.

Certainly explains why the end screen stays so cheerful even when you end the game prematurely with $0 (difficult, but possible).

Oh I forgot there is one lizard billionaire. But we didn't put him in the game because he doesn't represent the game's values.

Congratulations! You unlocked a SECRET LIZARD!
