About this board game

Skymines is a 2022 board game for 1–4 players with a 150-minute playing time, in which investors compete to earn the most CrypCoin across seven rounds.

Fifty years ago, humanity began mining the Moon and the asteroids under the control of the World Government. After recent turmoil causes that enterprise to collapse, adventurous companies and private investors take to the sky to revive the mining network.

As an investor, you put mined resources to work by investing in companies and spreading their outposts. You can also improve your earnings by supporting your scientists’ research and having them collect precious helium-3.

The heart of Skymines is its card programming and hand management system. Every decision calls for careful, clever planning as you prepare your actions and shape your approach over the course of the game.

  • Invest in any of four companies as you see fit.
  • Spread company outposts across the revived mining network.
  • Support scientific research and collect valuable helium-3.
  • Adapt to changing company abilities and discover new synergies.

Skymines creates deep player interaction through its open investment choices. You are not limited to a single company, allowing your plans to develop around the opportunities you pursue and the resources you put into play.

Because the combination of company abilities changes from game to game, each session offers different synergies and strategies to explore. Across seven rounds, thoughtful hand management and investment decisions determine who earns the most CrypCoin.
