Wizard Miners

Wizard Miners

2023·Anthony Petruzzelli

2 - 4 players
60 - 90 min
Medium weight: Teach it in one sitting

From BoardGameGeek

A race to the treasure under the mountain requires a great mining company. Why not one run by a wizard? Dig, drill, & blast your way while casting spells to slow your opponents down! In Wizard Miners, each player has a Mine Deck of cards that represents the cave they are mining. The object is to clear all of the cards from your deck before any other player does. As you mine, you will find gems in the rock. With these gems, you can buy more and better tools with which to mine and dynamite to cave in your opponents' caves. But what's the point of having a wizard in charge if you aren't casting spells? Each turn, each player can cast spells to make their tools mine better, break other players' tools, blast rock from your mine, or cave in your opponents' mines. Mining is important each turn as each tool gives you a better chance to mine cards out of your deck. But, be careful! You also have to take time to clean up the rubble or those cards (minus their gems!) could cave back in on you and make you clear them again! Wizard Miners is a fast paced, light hearted, simultaneous-play game with both strategy and luck involved. It will keep seasoned gamers interested in the choices they make and novices excited as the luck of the roll can always change fortunes! -description from designer
