The First Mine is a turn based building, strategy and puzzle game. You need to run a productive gold mine with your population by placing, grouping and upgrading various resource tiles without being distracted by different tasks and random events.
The goal of The First Mine is to mine as much gold as possible to achieve a high score at the end. There are different game sizes and difficulty levels to choose from, as well as several characters with unique traits for varied gameplay.
Each round you have to cleverly place and group a new random resource tile and upgrade your existing tiles as needed. Placing a new tile end the current round, mine gold in your mine and collect resources like wood, stone, wheat and fish.
To mine gold, you need people in your villages. To keep them, you need to provide enough wheat and fish each round. More people and a higher level increases the amount of gold produced per round. You need wood and stone to upgrade the level.
In order to increase your yield per round, you can observe different requirements and tasks when placing resource tiles. In addition, there are random game events like trade, raids or natural disasters that can influence the game in a positive or negative way.
