What is Moose Miners?

An idle management game where moose mine gems for processing and sale. You spend the proceeds on miners, gear, grinders, rails, and minecarts to reach deeper deposits of more valuable gems. There is no lose condition, and the moose keep working between your decisions.

For you if...

+you enjoy gradually scaling a mining operation
+you like choosing between worker and equipment upgrades
+you prefer relaxed games without a lose condition

Not for you if...

−you want to mine gems yourself instead of managing workers
−you prefer constant activity to idle resource gathering
