À La Mine is a turn-based strategy game designed for 3 to 6 players, where dwarves compete for control of mining operations.

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 Exploited If you don’t control enough connected territories, you become an exploited. The exploited 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! À La Mine is the first game from Studio Dés Kréatifs (S.D.K.).
