Game played: Coal Baron ( R&R Games ) BGG Id: 143515

This week, there were seven of us and Andrew, Nicky, Guy and myself started off with Coal Baron. This is one of two Kramer & Kiesling games released at Essen last year and this one is about working in a coal mine. The players dig tunnels for four different grades of coal, ship it to the surface and use it to fulfil contracts. It's a worker placement game played over three rounds with an increasingly involved scoring after each round. I made a bit of a mix up with the final scoring but we checked the result on both official and my variant rule and the outcome was the same either way with Guy being the king of the black gold.
