Summary:
The Mines of the Sacred Dragons is a tile placement mine building game for one to five players. Each player takes turn to build mine or expand his/her mine to gain victory point. When a player has one or less mine token or when the draw pile is depleted, game continues until the last player takes his/her turn. Mines on tiles are now scored. Player receives one point for each solitary mine and extra point for connecting mines. The player with most point wins the game. In case of a tie, the player with larger connecting mines wins the game. If it ties again, the player sits closest to the last player wins the game.
