ORE-SOME is a strategic game of mining, ramming, looting, and sabotage in an Old West mine. The game lasts six rounds of two phases each, and the miner who makes the most money at the end of the day wins! In the Move Phase, players move, ram and block each other for the best spots to dig. Rammed carts drop precious ore that can be swiped if you're quick and cunning! In the Dig Phase, players take turns digging for, stealing or swiping dropped ore. Once they have the ore, they can sell it to the bank or rush to the contract agents to fill valuable contracts!
