Fault! (2022)

In Fault!, you are one of several startup companies in a dangerously misguided competition to determine who gains the exclusive mineral rights to the famously rich Tremor Gulch mine. To impress the judges, you'll gather gems to complete contracts for points and powers, and you'll vie over achievements which transform into trophies. By hiring the right combinations of miners and backing them with carefully managed resources and planning, you're certain to undermine your competition. But be careful - if you mine too aggressively, you'll earn fault from the supervisors, which carries steep fines now or deeper penalties if ignored. And if you or your competitors mine too greedily, the reinforcements in the mine will start to break - when a mine tile loses its last reinforcement, it caves in, taking miners with it. Combining resource management and efficiency planning with direct player interaction, Fault! is a truly unique hybrid of gaming styles. Whether you're skillfully navigating the maze of the mine to excavate carefully selected stones or wildly flinging dynamite and grabbing every exploded element, you're sure to unearth stories to remember. —description from the publisher
