First Phase – Build Your Network
During the first phase, you and your friends share the same goal: to acquire the largest connected set of territories.
Through auctions and confrontations, you must:
Expand your holdings
Block your opponents
Set up your position for the next phase
This phase lays the groundwork for the balance of power to come.
Second Phase – Owners vs. Workers
Once the first phase is over, the game changes. Depending on your situation, you take on a new role:
The Owners
If you control enough connected territories, you become an owner.
Your goal is clear:
Slow down the progress of other owners
Contain the actions of the workers’ union
And most importantly, be the first to connect 6 territories to achieve a monopoly
The Workers
If you don’t control enough connected territories, you become a worker. Workers form a union and play collectively against the owners.
Their goal is to:
Sabotage the mine
Hinder the expansion of the owners
Prevent anyone from achieving a monopoly
The game then becomes a tense confrontation between individual interests and collective action.

À La Mine is neither a solo game nor a duel. It is designed to fully leverage the group dynamics found in board games: temporary alliances, collective opposition, tension, and betrayal.
Gather 3 to 6 players, enter the mine, and see who will come out on top!
