I got this game to introduce my friends to worker placement gaming in general. It's a relatively easy gateway for my friends to learn and play. Unlike Waterdeep which I like a lot, the mechanics are pretty simple (no cards or buildings). May not be for heavy duty boardgamers but I enjoy it. I really like the idea of using an elevator shaft to go down from high sulpher yellow coal (wooden cubes) to the really juicy Anthracite at the bottom of the shaft. Component qualty is fine for the layout. My only criticism, so far, is that the boards for the mine shaft are a little too thin and they have a curve in them. I'll probably mount them on foam core to maintain rigidity. Check YouTube for more in-depth gameplay and thoughts. That's it for now, I gotta go!
