Get ready to face the cold and grit of Alaskan mining in Pay Dirt! In this worker placement and engine-building game, you and up to four friends will manage a true mining empire, racing against time and the freezing ground to extract as much gold as possible. Starting with little – a basic crew, an unimpressive claim, and mediocre equipment – your mission is to grow this operation. Life in Alaska isn't easy: the environment is hostile, the temperature drops mercilessly, and all of this can hinder you. To keep everything running, you'll need to sell the gold you mine, ensuring your workers are happy and the machinery is in order. The key to success lies in optimizing your equipment and your team. Will you invest in more people for your camp or prioritize purchasing more efficient machines? The game challenges you to make these decisions to succeed. The Kickstarter edition comes with a special bonus: three mini-expansions included in the box, adding even more spice to your quest for 'pay dirt,' that game-changing gold vein! Even those who got the retail version can access these additions. If you enjoy games with a mining theme, where every decision counts and the cold is a constant adversary, Pay Dirt is a great pick!
