mina

MINA stands for Mining In Near Asteroids.
We have decided to take a low tech approach to the challenge, so the game is a board game, playable with cards and tokens. As board game we can easily enter in the family environment.
You can even play this game without electricity! We think this is and advantage for future playing in spacecrafts, where energy is scarce.

The players must compete and collaborate to achieve the goals of the game. As conceived, is impossible to win without collaborating, but some trickery is needed to win, because we are also competing.

Main characteristics.
- 2 to 4 players.
- Based on cards. Three types of cards: Asteroids, Spacecrafts and Risks.
- Educational oriented. Every card has an image related to its function.
- QR codes in every card, so the players can easily access resources related to the image. - There's a tech tree that the players need to advance in order to gain new technologies.
- The game has a 40 turns fixed length, so it doesn't drift into and endless play. Also this means that the players must take some risks to win.
- The players have resources that must be managed in order to advance the game.
- The points are measured in "status". Every achievement gives a variable amount of status points. The first player to achieve 100 points wins the game. If the 40th turn is reached without any player having arrived at 100 points, then the winner is whoever has more points.
