Coal Country
A mathematically intense economic game about corruption and competition in the coal-mining industry. Players direct influential mine foremen to manipulate coal prices, permits, utilities, and construction while expanding their mining companies. Shifting markets and annual mine inspections require careful planning, as unsafe construction reduces profits. The company with the most money at the end of the year wins.
