About the game
My Gold Mine is a quick push-your-luck card game in which dwarven players dig for gold, diamonds, and gems hidden deep in a cave while trying to avoid the mountain's fire-breathing dragon. Two to six players decide how far to push their luck before the dragon catches up, balancing greed against safety. It's designed for a fast, filler-length experience of about 25 minutes. Its simple premise and quick turns make it an easy pickup for any table.
Hobbli's Notes
We enjoy My Gold Mine as a snappy, low-fuss push-your-luck filler that's easy to teach in a couple of minutes. The dragon-chasing tension keeps every turn exciting despite the minimal rules overhead. It won't offer much strategic depth, but it delivers reliable fun as a warm-up or cooldown game. A solid choice when you need a quick, family-friendly filler between heavier games.
