Hidden deep within the solid rock interior of an unexplored mountain lie enormous gold nuggets, which have remained untouched for thousands of years...
You and a group of adventurous friends have decided to hike the treacherous mountain. Upon discovering stones adorned with sparkling gold particles, you all return with pickaxes, lanterns, and other equipment to excavate an underground mine. While digging, your pickaxe strikes one of the shiny, shimmery nuggets! As soon as you recognize what you have discovered, you realize you could soon be rich beyond your wildest dreams -- that is, if your friends (or enemies) don’t get to the gold first.
To seal your prosperous fate, you are determined to gather enough gold nuggets to purchase the mine and stake a claim -then all of the gold it contains will be yours. But watch out for the other miners: they’re just as greedy as you, and they’ll stop at nothing to beat you to it!
What awaits you as you descend into the mysterious mine? A "Gold Mine" of fun, with a new adventure each and every time!
