Minerals

Overview

Magnificent riches lie hidden under your feet. Minerals, trapped inside the plain rock, will shine brightly and reveal their stunning colors – but only if you manage to excavate them! That is your task. Travel deep into the ground to find milky-white wollastonite, anthracite darker than a moonless night, and kyanite as blue as the ocean. Use your tools wisely to reach for watermelon tourmaline and tread lightly to find golden orpiment. The vast world of minerals is closer than ever! You are geologists setting off for an expedition. Your goal is to excavate and collect precious Minerals. Plan your moves carefully and watch closely your opponents’ movements. During the game, you will move across the board and excavate Minerals. The most expensive and rare ones are obviously the hardest to obtain. To make your job easier you can use Tools, but remember that it will cost you some points. You can change your Minerals into a Collection which will bring you honor and fame. When the game ends, sum up the value of your Minerals and Collections. The player with the most valuable treasures wins! Magdalena ?liwi?ska is both the designer of a fantastic artwork as well as the mechanisms of this game.
