Giant Diamond Miner turns the dream of striking it rich into a calm strategy game in which you play a mine owner who has risked their entire fortune on a supposedly highly productive mine. Rather than digging directly yourself, you decide which shafts should be explored and have to plan carefully if you want to uncover the valuable diamonds. That balance of risk and decision-making is what gives the game its appeal. The result is a sober but genuinely engaging small-scale management adventure.
