Box Chain is a simple gacha claw machine game where every drop counts. 


Spend 1 coin to drop the claw and pick up special boxes to collect your hard-earned, shiny gold coins. It takes an extraordinarily good worker like yourself to reach 20 coins to win, but drop to 0 and it's game over! Are you up to the task?
