DESCRIPTION
À la mine is a board game designed for 3 to 6 players. You play as a dwarf whose objective is to be the most productive by owning the most contiguous territories, and for that, you will need to employ strategy. You will have the choice to acquire territories through bidding or to seize them by force from your neighbors using dynamite. Other subtleties await to be discovered during the game...
Under the banner of the Studio dés Kréatifs, "À la Mine" is still in development today. But perhaps you will find it at your favorite retailer soon.

- Play Tests
- Communication
DESIGN
The origin of this game dates back to a board game creation workshop, during which we were tasked with designing a prototype within two weeks, adhering to two specific mechanical constraints. These constraints required us to incorporate elements of conquest and bidding into our project. This is how "À la Mine" was born. Since its inception, the game has undergone significant evolution and is now presented to the public several times a month, whether at trade shows or in game bars, with the aim of gathering feedback and continuing to improve the experience it offers.
ITÉRATIONS
Many versions of "À la Mine" have emerged, with over a dozen major iterations to enhance the gaming experience or optimize certain game rules. Even today, the game continues to evolve.
BROCHURE
Currently, we are actively seeking publishers for our project. This brochure serves as one of our communication and presentation tools for the game. We invite you to take a look!
COMMUNICATION SUPPORT CONCEPT
During the development of "À la Mine," we faced a challenge during public presentations. How can we make the understanding of the rules of a complex board game more accessible by communicating through an interactive experience?
This is the challenge we chose to tackle for a week, and here is the proposed interactive experience, specially designed for the occasion.
COMMUNICATION
You can find more information about the game or upcoming events on our social media for the project. To test the game, you can play it on Tabletop Simulator via Steam here.
EVENTS
- Les Utopiales - Nantes
- ZLUP - Saint Nazaire

NEXT STEP
We are currently in contact with publishers to release "À la Mine." Who knows? Perhaps you will find "À la Mine" at your home soon.
In parallel, we are also working on a digital version of our game developed on Unreal Engine 5. We can't wait to reveal more.
