Description
Pay Dirt is a game where 2 to 5 players compete to manage and grow their mining outfit in the harsh Alaskan environment. The goal is to acquire the most gold before the ground becomes too frozen to dig, and players must navigate the challenges of the inhospitable countryside. With a small crew, basic equipment, and limited cash, players must strategically use their resources to make their mining operation more efficient. Through a combination of auctioning, bidding, and worker placement, players can improve their equipment and recruit more workers to increase their gold production. As the game progresses, players must balance their resources and make tactical decisions to stay ahead of the competition. With its unique blend of mechanics and challenging theme, Pay Dirt offers a fun and engaging experience for fans of engine-building and worker placement games.
