Mini Miners is a family game where players hire and equip dwarves to venture into a dangerous mine in search of gold, while also ensuring their safe escape. Develop your strategy by carefully selecting your dwarves and equipping them, creating combinations of their abilities, or relying on luck by taking risks to become the richest player by the end.

A game of Mini Miners consists of three rounds, each divided into four main phases. First, players recruit their team of dwarves during a brief draft phase. Each dwarf has unique abilities, and the choice of miners will significantly impact the rest of the game. Once all the dwarves have been recruited, players can purchase tools to assign to their dwarves. These tools enhance their ability to collect gold, mine safely, and increase their chances of escaping the mine.

After equipping their dwarves, players send them into the mine. The deeper they go, the more gold they find, but the risks increase. Next, players search for gold. Each dwarf draws maps based on their location in the mine and collects gold nuggets accordingly. They must avoid the mine collapsing and leave the tunnel with their gold without getting trapped.

After three rounds, the winner is the player who has collected the most gold nuggets. Between rounds, players can keep their tools for more options in the next round, and an event will occur at the beginning of each round to add excitement by slightly changing the rules and strategies.
