About the game

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!

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.

I purchased this game in a sale as a first entry on eurogames and what a pleasant surprise I got You cannot ask much more from it. Aesthetic, thematic and mechanics are extremely good. I think people don't give enough credit to the real gem it is So happy that my first met with Kramer-Kiesling has been this game. Suitable for either family or friends, experts or not ________ Several plays later, this is a keeper. It remained in my top 1 due to the whole game experience This game is chameleonic, could be used to teach about economics, demand and supply, resources management, simple arith
