The Mines of Pekari

In The Mines of Pekari you step into the boots of a goblin boss with your own tribe of miners. You all work under the rule of Zafrat, the Goblin King, and that means digging hard deep under the mountain. With the bars you collect you keep making choices: do you take good care of your workers, do you pay a toll to the Trolls of Tuuk for their ever-shifting tunnels, do you buy mine reports or do you do business with the goblin traders? Nothing is fixed, because the conditions change all the time. Each round you dig in one of the four mines and then sell the gems you have found. The deeper you go, the more dangerous it gets. There is always a risk of cave-ins and poisonous gases, but the rewards grow bigger too. As soon as word spreads about the rich mines, traders show up with valuable goods and goblin engineers offer you information about what you are likely to find before you put your shovel in the ground. This game for three to six players is all about daring, timing and making the right call at the right moment. At the end of the adventure, the goblin boss with the most bars wins. Expect about ninety minutes of tension at the table, suitable for players aged fourteen and up.
