Orapa Mine is a logic-based deduction board game where players try to identify the location and colors of gemstones hidden on their opponent’s mine board. Inspired by the real Orapa diamond mine, the game blends puzzle-solving with light strategic choices, making it suitable for both casual and experienced gamers.
Players send “ultrasonic beams” (questions) across the mine board.
Depending on which gemstones they hit, the beam’s color changes.
By tracking these results and comparing patterns, you gradually narrow down the possible positions of your opponent’s hidden gems.
The challenge is interpreting the signals correctly—some reflections can be misleading, and a wrong final deduction means an instant loss.

3+ players if one player takes the role of quiz master
