Since lorries are cheap and the players start with very little money and few units, lorries are used to build initial capital. I had loads of fun moving trucks and ships about full of mined tin to make a Million bucks before anyone else!

Mine a Million or The Business Game is a 1965 board game for 2-6 players [1] previously published by Waddingtons. In the long lost days before I was a fully paid up member of the board gaming cognoscenti, but still a keen gamer, I spent a lot of time playing mass-market board games with my non-gaming friends. Many of the cards in my version of Mine a Million are open to a bit of interpretation, but I think this one is fairly clear. No, it’s the event cards you have to take on a 1 or a 6 that cause major problems because they’re tied in to specific circumstances.Imagine you’re running a tight-knit operation in which you’re deliberately trying to be as efficient as possible and not leave too much cash in the bank.

Although since it’s entirely possible to get several event cards in a row, you’ll still be blindsided some of the time.So once the ore starts flowing you can take great delight in hiring more lorries than you need and leaving your opponents with ore piling up at their pitheads and grinding their teeth in frustration while they worry about an event card coming up that’ll destroy unsold ore on the board. The game was designed by the British brothers Peter and Philip Bergner, together with their respective wives Kathleen and Audrey Bergner.

They are also considerably more expensive, and incapable of travelling inland to the mines; instead players must first transport their units to the central warehouse, from where ships can begin their journey. Business board game dealing with the world of mining and transport, showing how industry makes money and how they can lose it.

Aside from the rebranding, the only difference was that 'The Business Game' came in a smaller box, and the board was folded into thirds rather than in half. Again, of no consequence if there are no ships on the board but if someone looses a big cargo of ore when the boat goes down, then that can determine the winner of the game, all down to a dice roll and a card draw and that sucks.Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections—they may also appear in recommendations and other places.
