Step into the rugged world of 19th century Cornwall with Tinners' Trail, where you become a pivotal player in the booming tin and copper mining industry. As a mining conglomerate owner, your journey begins with the exhilarating challenge of acquiring valuable plots of land at competitive auctions. Your clever management of work points and finances is crucial as you navigate this high-stakes environment.

Once your mine is established, it’s time to extract precious resources. But keep your wits about you—mining deeper comes with escalating costs. Strategically place essential developments like ports, train stations, and drainage tunnels to enhance your mining efficiency. However, be mindful—these improvements are limited, and every decision counts!

Timing is everything; sell your ore when prices peak to maximize profit. With your earnings, venture beyond Cornwall to invest in external industries, reaping victory points for your foresight. The earlier you invest, the greater your returns. Will your strategies outshine your rivals, or will you find yourself short on shillings?

This edition of Tinners' Trail revamps the original 2008 version, expanding player options from 3-4 to an exciting 1-5 players. Enjoy a dynamic setup where resources are placed using tiles instead of die rolls, ensuring variability while minimizing randomness. Enhance your gameplay with dual-use cards that offer strategic insights before auctions or provide a boost afterward.

Designed with careful attention to detail by David Digby, Tinners' Trail is not just a game—it’s an adventure into the heart of mining ingenuity. Gather your companions, plan your strategy, and unearth riches in this thrilling economic masterpiece!
