Wizard Miners! A fun, fast-paced, board game with wizards!
Created by Anthony Petruzzelli
A race to the treasure beneath the mountain requires a great mining company! Why not one run by a WIZARD? 2-4 players of any age! Wizard Miners is a fast paced, simultaneous play, card driven board game. The rules are easy to learn, but different strategies and the luck of the dice change the game every time! Loved at Gen Con and other conventions for the past few years - order yours now! Visit petrogaminggroup.com for more info on the game!

Base Game updates! All game components have been approved for mass production! Gem size is confirmed (nicer and bigger!). We are making just some small tweaks to the rule book in response to some feedback, so it will be even better. There are a couple of small changes to the box to reflect the final components. Other than that, we are ready to start production as soon as the campaign ends!
Deluxe Game updates! All of the deluxe components are getting finalized with some exciting progress. The treasure chest is nearly complete and the turn token coin color issues are resolved (the yellow wasn't REALLY yellow...). Look how great the prototypes look!
The Turn coin sample is complete!

Looks great even in this simple video! Can't wait to hold it in person!
The Treasure Chest Idea...

When we started thinking about a special additions to the game, the idea of having something to hold gems during play came up. Instead of just having a pile of gems loose on the table in front of you, having something thematic to drop them in was a fun idea. We ended up with constructible treasure chests. We designed a couple and made a couple of homemade prototypes. They looked great on the table while playing!
So, follow this confusing story and you will see why we are just now finishing up on the chests instead of having them already. I had a gem size in mind - we had played for a couple of years with a gem size that I got from The Game Crafter and it worked fine. But it was a little small for adult hands and not as “impressive” in a pile. So, I found a gem size that I could buy in bulk that were roughly 25 mm x 14 mm and they looked great! So, I took my prototype treasure chest and put gems in it until it was “overflowing”. It held about 14 gems - perfect for gameplay. I thought an overflowing chest would be fun during the game and I didn’t want one or two gems to get lost in a big chest if that’s all you had. During communication with Longpack games, I expressed my goal of 14 gems “overflowing” the chest, but didn’t clearly express that I had changed sizes of each gem! So, Longpack designed a chest that would “overflow” with 14 gems of the original, smaller size. I guess these are the things that happen when emails are going back and forth and you are discussing a dozen different items at a time! The good news is, we are well on our way to a new design to hold the bigger gems. That design will be done well in advance of manufacturing.
