From BoardGameGeek

In the land of Arzium, the Southern Mining Guild has found a passageway that leads to a vast cavern filled with giant slugs, glowing fungi, and glittering crystals! Your task is to gather up this valuable trove for the survival of the guild members and their families. Crystal Miners is a roll-and-write game featuring one of the factions from Now or Never, the Southern Mining Guild. Each turn, you roll dice and place them on actions on your player sheet, using money to hire new miners, buy upgrades, and establish new places to mine. Gameplay is simultaneous and quick, lasting only eight turns. The player who most effectively manages their mining company is declared the winner. Crystal Miners is currently only available as a print-and-play game.
