Out of Mine! is a board game released in 2014 for 2–4 players, 20 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Martin Nedergaard Andersen and its main mechanics are Tile Placement.
Game description from the publisher: "Out of mine!" At hearing this call through the shafts of the mine, dwarves immediately let their pickaxes rest. Who was able to best complete the challenge? Equipped with pickaxes and the secret knowledge of the mine elves, in Out of Mine! the players try to expose as many precious crystals as possible. Each one gets his own special tunnel, in which he tries to find the crystals according to the hints of the elves. If one dwarf manages to find all of the predicted crystals in his tunnel, the call "Out of mine!" rings out loud. The players now get points for the found resources, but only at the end of the week after the seventh round of exploration will everyone see who has been the most successful dwarf. Only the dwarf who manages to quickly and correctly dig for crystals in his tunnel has a chance to become the master dwarf.
Out of Mine! supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Out of Mine! is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Out of Mine! for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Out of Mine! has a complexity rating of 1.2 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
