Schichtwechsel: Die Förderung liegt in deiner Hand*

The Ruhr area has been shaped by coal mining for centuries, culminating in the closure of the last mine in Bottrop in late 2018, marking the end of an era. Players manage a coal mine and engage in competition while experiencing a slice of Ruhrgebiet history from the 1950s. The game consists of five rounds, each with preparation, action, and scoring phases, where players aim to maximize coal production and gain the most victory points.
