Every scratch is a decision
Foil comes off exactly where your thumb goes, stamina is scarce, and a partial reveal is information — spend to know, or gamble on the read.

Scratchmancer: Lucky Roguelike
A push-your-luck roguelike where you scratch cursed lottery tickets to survive the night shift.
Scratchmancer is a scratch-off card roguelike for iPhone. You've inherited a 24-hour lottery kiosk at the edge of town: every ticket is a foil grid hiding cash, multipliers, and skulls, your thumb's stamina is the budget, and The Management sets the quota. Read symbols from partial reveals, commit when the odds feel right, and buy odds-warping charms between rounds.

Peek, commit, or walk away
Seven ticket types each pay by their own rule — the Manager's Special pays your best symbol times the cells you left covered, so scratching less is the whole trick. Cash out any time; only banked money counts at dawn.
Charms bend the odds, visibly
Spend banked coins in the between-round shop on charms, tools, and tomorrow's tickets — a tip jar that pays every round, a cat that sleeps on the richest ticket, x-ray spray for the foil.
