Portal Games Digital brings the popular board game, Imperial Miners, to Android devices! This digital card game offers a deep dive into mine-building strategy. Joining Portal Games Digital's existing Android catalog of similar titles, including Neuroshima Convoy, Imperial Settlers: Roll & Write, and Tides of Time, Imperial Miners promises an engaging experience.
Designed by Tim Armstrong (known for Arcana Rising and Orbis) and illustrated by Hanna Kuik (whose credits include Batman: Everybody Lies and Dune: House Secrets), Imperial Miners places you in control of an underground excavation. Your goal? Construct the most efficient mine, strategically playing cards to build a flourishing subterranean empire. Starting at the surface, you'll delve deeper, collecting Crystals and Carts to amass Victory Points.
The gameplay hinges on a unique card system: each card played activates its effect and triggers those above it. Six distinct factions provide diverse strategic options and potent combo potential. However, strategic card placement isn't the sole factor. Ten rounds of gameplay, each featuring a unique Event (some beneficial, others disruptive), keep you on your toes.
Further adding to the replayability, three of six randomly selected Progress boards offer varying strategic focuses each game. This dynamic element ensures no two playthroughs are identical.
