[1]The Parents' Choice Foundation [2] has released the list of award winning games and toys for Spring 2011. Included in the list is Gold Mine [3], which has won the Parents' Choice Recommended Seal. A very positive review has also been published along with the award.
According to the foundation, the Recommended Seal "implies our approval and, even beyond that, our thorough recommendation for reasons of production, appeal and fulfillment of its clear intent."
The review itself states that "Gold Mine encourages players to engage with the game and interact with each other. The gold pieces have that certain "gold" appeal to them, so players will become competitive. Meanwhile, they will have to use problem solving skills and be creative with their winning strategies. It's lots of fun, and if you're looking for a new and different board game, this is one kids will enjoy."
The full review can be found on the Parents' Choice website [4].
