Tinners' Trail — How to Play, and Why It's a Gem

This week's older board game gem is Tinners' Trail, designed by Martin Wallace and published originally by his company Treefrog in 2008 and JKLM not too long afterwards. Players build mines in Cornwall and extract metal to sell, but the price of metal varies wildly, and players have to deal with the ever-increasing water in their tunnels! Tinners' Trail was the first Treefrog Game, and has that early Treefrog aesthetic: No cards, no cardboard tiles, just a board and a tonne of wooden components! It's not as heavy/complex as some of Wallace's games, but it's still very much a Wallace Game: One with a solid historical basis, that works out the brain in all the right ways. A new edition from Alley Cat Games is currently up on Kickstarter so it's a good time to talk about the game. At the end of the video I go over some of the changes and my personal take on them. 00:00 Intro 03:40 How to Play 24:29 Why It's a Gem 37:09 New Edition Thoughts Board Gems is a weekly video series highlighting board games that aren't talked about much any more — maybe they're a bit old (though not usually crazy old), or maybe they didn't make a big splash when they came out — but are still great games today, and deserve to not be forgotten!
