Description

Prospectors is a worker placement tile laying game where players place terrain tiles to build a map which will contain regions with three different types of precious resources. Players speculate on which resource is most bountiful in a region by placing prospectors bordering the regions on the map. The more prospectors matching a resource type that the player places next to a region, the greater the potential number of resources the player collects when the region is completed. However players must speculate carefully as a completed region only pays out its most plentiful resource type. Players must pursue all types of resources in order to become the Great Prospector!

Great game. It's a real brain burner. The only problems I found with the game are simple to fix: 1) No vitals on the outside of the box. Should have player count, time, and age. 2) I don't think yo...
