Mine! (1993)

About this game

Players between them buy and operate twelve mines. For each of these the purchase price, overheads and actual mining costs are different. Reserves of ore and maximum production for each mine also vary. A neat and simple mechanism varies the price at which the output is sold according to the supply/demand situation. The object is to have the highest final value of cash and un-mined reserves.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 5.
• Rules load. At 2.3/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 13 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
