Orapa Mine (NL) - Board game

Orapa Mine – Dutch Edition

Search for hidden gemstones in Orapa Mine, a deduction game where clever questions bring you closer to the solution. Investigate a secret arrangement by sending imaginary ultrasonic beams into the mine. Where does a beam emerge, and what colour has it become? Use these clues to determine the gemstones’ positions, colours and orientations.

Play a head-to-head duel in which you investigate each other’s mines, or compete with several players to uncover the same hidden arrangement. Record the answers, connect the clues and choose your next question carefully. The first player to decipher the complete arrangement wins!

Key Features:

• Logical deduction: Use the information you gather to locate the hidden gemstones step by step.
• Reflected beams and colours: Analyse how gemstones affect a beam’s direction and colour.
• Two types of questions: Investigate a beam’s path or ask what occupies a particular location in the mine.
• Head-to-head play: Each player creates a secret arrangement and tries to solve their opponent’s mine first.
• Multiplayer puzzle race: One player creates the puzzle while the others compete to uncover the same arrangement.
• Two included mini-expansions: The transparent diamond reflects beams without changing their colour; the black gemstone absorbs beams entirely.
• Dutch-language family game: For 2–5 players aged 8 and up, with a playing time of approximately 20 minutes.
