À La Mine

À La Mine is a turn-based competitive strategy game for 3 to 6 players. You compete for control of mining operations through auctions, confrontations and dynamite, with strong player interaction and shifting, asymmetrical dynamics. The game has two phases with different objectives, and each decision affects both your position and the overall balance of the game.

Build your network

In the first phase, all players aim to acquire the largest connected set of territories. Through auctions and confrontations, you expand your holdings, block opponents and prepare for the next phase.

Owners and workers

After the first phase, your role depends on how many connected territories you control. Players with enough territories become owners; the others become exploited and form a union that acts collectively against them.

Owners try to slow the progress of other owners, contain the workers’ union and be the first to connect 6 territories and achieve a monopoly. The exploited union works to sabotage the mine, hinder the owners’ expansion and prevent anyone from achieving a monopoly. The second phase pits individual interests against collective action, with temporary alliances, collective opposition, tension and betrayal.
