Gin Label Scratch Card

Choose a card price with the chips, then press New card. A fresh label slides into place under a sheet of copper foil. Drag a finger across it on a phone, or hold the mouse button down and move the cursor on a computer, and the foil comes away wherever you scratch.

Once you’ve cleared a good part of the card it reveals itself fully. In a hurry? Reveal all lifts the whole sheet at once. You’ll need to finish one card, by scratching or revealing, before a new one can be dealt.

Six botanicals can appear in the windows, and the key under the card shows what three of each return, as a multiple of the price you paid for that card.

• Sprig 1×
• Peel 2×
• Coriander 3×
• Angelica 5×
• Orris 10×
• Still 50×

Three Juniper Sprigs simply hand back your card price. Three Copper Stills, the rarest set, return fifty times it: a 10 JB card becomes 500 JB. Each card holds one matching set at most, so if you’ve found two of a kind there may or may not be a third waiting under the foil.

The card price is taken from your Juniper Berries when you press New card. The symbols are settled at that moment, and scratching only shows you what’s already there. Anything collected joins your balance as soon as the card is revealed.

Your balance is shared across all four of our games, and the refill button returns it to 5,000 JB whenever it dips below. There is nothing to buy here: no in-app purchases, no prizes and no cash value in a single berry.

The most carefully made thing in any small distillery is often the label. Ours came from the old apothecary style: cream paper, a thin copper rule, a fine black border and a botanical in every corner. A scratch card is really just a label with a secret, so we printed one and covered it in the same copper as the still. The little scraping sound you imagine is entirely your own.
