Players own tin mines in a developing country and must transport ore from their mines to the coast and then overseas where it is sold for dollars. Players must compete with each other for the limited transportation resources.There are three types: lorries, barges and ships. To maximise profits, players need to control transport and obstruct their rivals. The aim is to mine a million, the original name of the game. Best played with an even number of players, this is a great business game that will have members of families pitted against each other to make that million.

Information about Waddingtons
Waddingtons was a UK publisher of card and board games between 1922 and 1994, when the company was bought by Hasbro. Founded by John Waddington and Wilson Barratt, the company was originally called Waddingtons Limited and its name changed several times, including to Waddington's House of Games in the 1970s.
Waddingtons was arguably Europe's best game manufacturer, producing classic board games such as Cluedo, Formula 1, Buccaneer,Totopoly and, of course, Monopoly. Waddingtons playing cards are also highly collectable.
