MINE A MILLION - VINTAGE BOARDGAME

Product Information

Similar cards for losses at the pithead specify "on the ground (not in lorry/barge)" and/or "in lorry/barge" (wording not exact, I couldn't quickly find the wording online and I'm not at home to check). As the centre spine of the board is superb , all the small fiddly parts are here and they still have the greaseproof paper packets .

The game consists of a playing board, 12 mine derricks (2 of each of 6 colours), 6 lorries, 5 barges, 2 ships, 90 pyramids (15 of each of 6 colours), 94 cubes (24 of each of 6 colours), 26 Production Cards, 6 Canal Company Title Deeds, 2 Production Debit Cards, 1 die and paper money comprising sterling and dollars. Barges are slightly slower and considerably more expensive than lorries, but have the advantage that they can carry five units (at least two of which must be the player's own).Again you can “steal” other people’s ore for which they must pay you so, again, you can take ore away from players badly in need of pounds and sell it on their behalf for dollars that they don’t need at all.

No, it’s the event cards you have to take on a 1 or a 6 that cause major problems because they’re tied in to specific circumstances.The objective is to make one million dollars by selling units in the neighbouring landmass containing three ports. But since it doesn’t loose you or them any money, and it’s getting ore to the port to be sold, that’s no big deal, right? So I cannot tell you where there is one like yours for sale because we think you have a very rare game.

Lorries can carry two units (unlike barges and ships, lorries do not have to be fully loaded and may travel with a single unit; lorries can also not carry units belonging to other players) and can travel as far as the Newport Warehouse at the centre of the board.

And in honesty for all the merits of the game there’s just not quite enough strategy or enough interaction to fill all those hours. The game was designed by the British brothers Peter and Philip Bergner, together with their respective wives Kathleen and Audrey Bergner.

The game models the economic business of mining tin and gaining profit by transporting it to markets. You can use these pounds to hire more lorries (and thus annoy your opponents more), build more drilling rigs to get more ore and eventually set up a canal company and hire barges which can transport a lot of ore at once and move rather faster than a lorry, of which more shortly. Many of the cards in my version of Mine a Million are open to a bit of interpretation, but I think this one is fairly clear.

The simplest way to achieve this is by getting 10 units to the furthest port (Port Boston), and another five to either of the nearer two (Race Bay or St.Posts are for general information, are not intended to substitute for informed professional advice (medical, legal, veterinary, financial, etc. JustAnswer is not intended or designed for EMERGENCY questions which should be directed immediately by telephone or in-person to qualified professionals.
