What is Coal Baron
Coal Baron – or Glück Auf in German, after a greeting German miners use when wishing one another luck – has players sending miners underground to dig tunnels and acquire coal, which comes in four levels of quality and is used to fulfill contracts.
The game lasts three rounds, and in each round players take turns placing their workers on action spaces; you can place on a space occupied by another player, but you need to place additional workers in order to do so. Each player has an individual elevator shaft, and will need to use workers to extract coal and bring it to the surface, while also competing for contracts and scrounging for cash in order to do everything else that needs to be done!

de 2 a 4, tablero esperaba mas de este juego despues de haber leido mil cosas. Novedoso lo del ascensor. Entretenido
Played as a prototype in the Cordoba International Boardgame Festival, October'12. I just loved it. It mixes a kind of worker placement or investment with majority-collection for scoring. The worker placement has a nice twist: to use a place, you have to put one more worker than the previous one did at that place. So there's no blocking, but a time decision about where to put your workers, and WHEN. The lift used to go up and down the mine is just great, and the game overall seemed really great fun for me. Final product really nice, although tiles could be a bith thicker. It works perfe

Me encanta este juego, espero tener la versión nueva en algún momento
2-4 J. (3-4 mejor). Regalo de los Reyes Magos en 2018. Un juego en el que prima la estrategia a largo plazo. El desarrollo del juego es bastante lineal y el propio juego te conduce hacia las acciones que tienes que hacer en sucesivos turnos. Sin embargo su sistema de puntuación por mayorías es fabuloso y el entreturno y la fase de mantenimiento son bastante rápidas.
