  • Gamepad Support - 6 May 2020

    It is now possible to do almost everything in the game using a gamepad (basically everything except text entry, such as in multiplayer chat or account management).

  • Steam Turn Notifications - 31 July 2019

    If you play Gem Rush using a Steam-linked account, Steam can now tell you when it's your turn in an online game without you needing to open the game to check. You can also launch the game directly into a specific session from the notification screen. Steam will ask you if you want to receive notifications the next time you log into Gem Rush through Steam. To see your current notifications or adjust notification settings, you can navigate in your browser to (your Steam profile URL)/gamenotifications If it is currently your turn in any games, a link will also show up under Steam's green mail icon.

  • Replays and More - 4 July 2019

    Several new features in today's build! Replays: You can now look backwards in any game and re-watch prior events to see what happened. When loading a match, the game will automatically replay everything that's happened since the end of your most recent turn (this can be disabled in game options). Lobby Codes: Each new game lobby is automatically assigned a short code. If you give this code to your friends, they can use it to join the lobby even while it's private, allowing you to host multi-player games without ever opening them up to strangers. Offline Autosave: Your current offline game is saved automatically while you play and can be resumed later, even after closing and relaunching the application. Automatic Gem Tallies: When viewing the discard and burn piles, the game will automatically tally how many of each kind of gem are present, making it easier to see what's still in play. T…

  • New Game Options - 17 October 2018

    There's a big update today, with several new features. Foremost are new configuration options you can choose while starting a game. You can now opt to disable skills, force all players to have the same skill, or allow each player to choose their skill. Additionally, in rush mode, you can change the number of points required to win the game. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33194878%2F05c6d5a7d90dec769586974563d46642abcc2159.jpg https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33194878%2F2cf0694e18a1b4070001adbe7d1775c8c9727be6.jpg We've also cleared up a few misconceptions the bots had about how certain room tiles worked, and have taught the Adept Bot a few new tricks, making it even more formidable. In addition, the options screen also has two new controls: one that controls how quickly the bots make their moves, and one that will enlarge…

  • Bots - 15 September 2018

They've have been competing fiercely in our test arena, and they are looking ready to dig in. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33194878%2F4c4c83dabf730bcce24354efc2f6ce80def096c9.png

  • Release Date Announced! - 13 July 2018

    We are happy to announce that the official release date for Gem Rush on Steam will be August 6th. You can now check out the official Steam product page for additional details. In advance of this important milestone, we want to thank our Kickstarter backers and our friends at Steam for making this game possible. We're sure you'll also be happy that the electronic version of the game is actually early, and will be ready ahead of the board game (which is also coming along really well and moving now into full production). Questions and comments welcomed.

About this game

The Classic Board Game comes to your iPhone and iPad! You are a dwarf and dwarves dig; it is a matter of pride and honor. But very few can join you among the ranks of the best. In a magical mine, pickaxe in hand, you race together or separately to claim the prestige your skills can earn - Board Game Geek This mountain is rich in mystic gems. Combine gems to open up new rooms, providing new ways to dig up gems. Race against other players or race together against the clock to dig the greatest mine in this fast-paced, easy-to-learn strategy game. Features Leverage more than 60 room abilities 20 unique player skills adorned with dwarven poetry Competitive, cooperative, and solitaire game modes (1-7 players) Online and hotseat multiplayer options Cross-platform play: iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux versions can all play together Play a quick game and watch the action unfold, or play an asynchronous game where you only need to take one turn per day 4 levels of AI to play with or against Faithful adaptation of the Gem Rush board game, programmed by the designer Reviews of the Board Game (first edition) "The gameplay is great, I think it's a super fun game...This is a great tile-laying exploration game, one that I would very much recommend..." Zee Garcia - The Dice Tower "It's a nice little filler game...it's all about optimizing your turns, making sure you're in a position where you can maximize your options depending on which cards you're going to draw." Ricky Royal - Box of Delights "A simple, light game...the gives me enough to think about and keep me engaged. I personally like the fact that the game feeds me constantly new problems to solve." Marco Arnaudo How to Play On your turn, move up to 3 steps in the mine, then do one action. Building Rooms Building rooms is the main way to score points! If you move into a room that doesn't exist yet, you have to build it. Spend cards from your hand that include all the gems on the door you're building.

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $9.99
  • Highest observed: $9.99

Gem Rush's USD price history spans from Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $9.99, the highest is $9.99, and the first visible tracked price is $9.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Gem Rush's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $9.99, from Sep 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $9.99. The latest run records $9.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $9.99
  • Current list price: $9.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Gem Rush at $9.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
