Description
The first game in Thomas Spitzer's highly acclaimed coal trilogy, Haspelknecht: The Story of Early Coal Mining transports players to the beginning of coal mining in the Ruhr valley in the 16th Century. Players take on the role of farmers who exploit the presence of coal in their lands in the southern part of the Ruhr region. Coal was discovered here, close to the Earth's surface, during a time where the lands were mostly covered with forests and roads were rare. Players will obtain unique developments, expand their farm, and dig deeper in the ground to extract more coal. The game has many paths that lead to victory.
