Super Motherload — Prices

Imagine you're the leader of an elite crew of Pod pilots working for the Solarus Corporation. The setting? Mars, in the near future, where an infinite source of precious minerals has been discovered deep beneath the red crust. These resources are the key to ending Earth's energy crisis and fueling deep space expeditions as the population overflows. Your mission is straightforward yet challenging: dive into the Martian depths, mine everything you can, and become the most legendary employee in the galaxy.

In terms of gameplay, Super Motherload blends deck-building with tile placement in a very innovative way. You start with a basic deck, but as you excavate and collect minerals, you use that wealth to hire new pilots and upgrade their skills. The stronger your deck, the more efficient you become at bombing and drilling through the terrain. The genius touch is the board: tiles are added and removed during the match, simulating the 'scrolling' action typical of video games, which requires you to carefully plan your spatial positioning.

To win, you need to accumulate the most Victory Points (VPs). These points are gained from the cards you add to your deck and from achievement cards that become available throughout the game. It's the kind of experience that appeals to those who enjoy the precision of Eurogames but still want a strong theme and a constant sense of progression. If you love seeing your crew grow more powerful while exploring the unknown, this game is for you. Get your drills ready, manage your hand, and happy mining!
