Description

Get ready to strike it rich in the Atacama desert, where valuable mineral resources are waiting to be uncovered. In this tactical game, 2 to 4 players compete to extract gold, silver, and copper, but be careful - the government has limited mining rights, and extracting the wrong type of commodity can result in penalties. The game is easy to learn, and with a playtime of just 20 minutes, you can quickly dive into the action. As you erect drilling rigs, you'll need to think strategically about where to place them, as each new rig limits the possibilities for others in the surrounding area. With its modular board and area majority mechanics, Atacama offers a fun and challenging experience. Designed by Martin Schlegel and first published in 2013, this game is a great choice for fans of abstract strategy and economic games, and its short playtime makes it perfect for a quick gaming session.
